Access and arrival
Yakima Air Terminal (YKM) sits 5 km (3.1 mi) out, so a same-day return is realistic for anyone flying in for one session.
Being 0.4 km (0.2 mi) from the middle of Yakima means attendees can walk from their hotel, which removes the single most complained-about line in most event budgets.
Yakima has 17 venues mapped in total and a population of 97,390. The Yakima guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
At 1,500 seats this takes a full conference in one room. Confirm what the space looks like with the seating cleared, because that is the version most conferences actually book.
- networking mixers
An independent space with its own character, which a mixer benefits from more than a conference does.
- fundraisers and galas
A room with a personality is worth more at a gala than square footage is.
- community meetings
Room for 1,500 covers most community and member meetings.
The app bill, at this size
