My experience at Yakima is really good . It’s a nice calm city but also has enough entertainment places where you can have fun! Me being an active person would like for there to be more entertainment places but other than that it’s a normal, calm and very nice place to live in.
I would like to see an immense diminish within gang violence and improvement upon the public schools, such as diversifying the types of classes and willing to provide more opportunities or choices within classes. Not only that but providing more after school clubs or activities would allow more students opportunities and success in the future.
My experience living in Yakima County are not great but its a same town where everyone is usually really friendly and nice. I really like that even though it's a suburban city there's still lots to do for everyone. What is bad about Yakima is that the crime rate is really high at times. People can't really walk without having to be with someone so nothing will happen. Something I would change about Yakima would be the the amount of people. There were not many people in Yakima and after time it has gotten more popular.
