This restaurant has the architure design that will compete with the highest end restaurants you will visit. The restaurant is family owned from a long history of restaurant development. The Ice House bar in the back also serves food as well. Cowiche is a stand alone favorite of locals in Yakima. Let Mark or Grahm know you are staying at the Hittle Building! Cheers

This shop is right next door to The Hittle Building. The family owned Sub Shop sandwich is one of the local favorites. From the Courthouse and City Hall workers up the street to the construction crews, this is a personal favorite. The Bonlander family are friends of the Hittle Building and support Downtown Yakima.

My favorite tap room and take in food place!

This sparkling wine is one of the best!! Juergen Grieb is there to greet you and answer any questions you might have. He is a friend of 'the Hittle's'!

Union Gap is the original Yakima. Yakima then moved to 'North Yakima'. I grew up in this small town, having a paper route, playing baseball and mowing lawns. It was a great small town to grow up in. They support the Mall, Costco, and several car dealerships as well as a community that is tightly bonded. Home town of Senator Curtis King and Gary Puckett and the Union Gaps. "Once a Gapper Always a Gapper"

Handball-Racquetball

Handball is still played in Yakima on a daily basis. The Downtown YMCA is just 2 blocks away from our building. The Y has 4 Handball/Racquetball courts. I also know the local racquetball group. Call me for a game or to get you hooked up with a game anytime. "Live Longer Play Handball"
White Pass Ski Resort is only a one hour drive from the Hittle Building on Hwy 12. This ski resort is one of the best kept secrets in Washington. Former home of Olympic skiers, the Mahre twins. Ski all day and come back to the 'Hittle' and enjoy downtown restaurants, bars, and theatres. The best of both worlds!!

City/town information

Yakima is a large city with a small town personality. It is a great place to raise your family, work, play, and retire. We have over 300 days of sunshine a year. We are centrally located to make a trip to a Seahawk or Mainer Game, but never fight with the traffic commute in our every day life. White Pass Ski Resort is only a one hour drive up to the mountain. Irrigation makes our valley enriched with fruit, vegetables, and green lawns. Four Seasons of weather, none of which are severe. Most professionals when out of college in internships choose to move back to Yakima to raise their family.
