Walking in, you find yourself in the gift shop with plenty of different options from trinkets to jewelry and clothing to books (about the area and from local authors) with just about everything in between. To your right is the main exhibit area. It was something like $10 per adult and well worth it. The exhibits start with a couple that highlight the terrain and the animals that live in the northwest. Good info for adults and lots for kids to look at! Our guide gave us some wonderful information on how each animal fit into the lives of the people groups from the area. From there we saw some great examples of living arrangements from partially underground dwellings (wigwams I think) to huge longhouses and tepees. All were quite impressive. Tools, pottery and jewelry were also on display. My favorite part of the tour however was the historical section where our guide spoke about the treaties and history of the people groups. Prior to this trip, I didn't know about the 14 tribes and bands that formed the Yakama nation. Like a lot of stories, some of the things done are much different than would likely play out today, but ignoring he history won't change it and learning about it helps everyone understand it better. They have some of the only pictures of the treaty being signed as well as some of the original copies of the actual treaty. It's very impressive! The place can take 20 minutes to walk through or a number of hours, depending on your interest in the subject matter. End of the day, this is a very impressive collection that showcases some of the early events that helped shape the valley. Everyone in the area owes it to themselves to check it out.

However, the food strictly only for the buffet was just alright. While it was a pretty cheap buffet, (around 18.50 for the day I went), the food was sitting under heatlamps and not the best. It also ran out at some point and didn't get refilled for at least 20 minutes. The selection also wasn't great, with around 6 options overall for food. However, I love cheap buffets with mid food, so this was just the place for me! If you are fine with low quality but infinite food, definitely check out the lunch buffet. I'm sure the actual a la carte food is much better, although I can't speak on that.

We were in Yakima last week and we stopped by the museum. We were greeted by a nice man, who we bought tickets from. I told him my story and he said we should speak to John. Luckily, he was in and we went into the archives office and he showed us all kinds of things! He found my grandfather's store, then he told us that it was torn down, but he told us about other businesses in the area! He showed us pictures dating back over 100 years! He then found my dad's old house. We took down the address - this is something I'd like to see! He gave us a lot of great information - what an amazing man! He showed us some artwork in another room, then sent us on our tour of the museum. We had a wonderful docent give us a tour. She took us room to room, answered our questions and made the entire experience world class! In the middle of our tour, John came by and showed us another photo he had pulled up! Now that's amazing! We finished our tour. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and we learned a lot about Yakima. Oh yeah, we also learned that we were staying in Union Gap, not Yakima. After the museum, we went to where the store was, then we went to see where my dad great up. What a perfect day and it was all due to the excellent staff at the Yakima Valley Museum and Historical Association! You have to visit this museum!

My wife and I attended the Richland Players' performance of Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None" last night, 9/16/2023. The theater is very nice, especially for a small amateur company. It is clean and well appointed. The décor shows clever use of budget giving it the feel, amenities and ambiance of a large commercial theater without chintzing on anything, including on-going maintenance - often overlooked by similar organizations. My hat off to those who designed and executed it. It looks very professional. The layout is practical and inviting including a bar in the pleasant open lobby area, offering a limited selection of refreshments and snack items that still cover the range of what you might expect to access for pre-show and intermissions. Overall, they have very efficiently achieved an impressive venue, with a large number of enthusiastic volunteers supporting it in every role. As to the performance, one has to take into account that this is an amateur theatrical company and it is unreasonable to expect profession perfection. In "And Then There Were None" they took on a complex and unusual subject about justice and fairness with a psychological twist and they executed petty well overall. Scenery and lighting, etc. were extremely well executed. We enjoyed the play but there were some disappointments. It was difficult to hear and understand some of the actors much of the time (we were seated only about half way back in the auditorium). In fact, I would estimate that we missed at least 25% of the total dialogue. Many other audience members had the same complaint. In fact, some left during the first of the two intermissions because of it. The majority of the problems were accounted for by several of the actors. But they are mostly the director's responsibility. She should have coached them to overcome these very obvious deficiencies. It is difficult to imagine her sitting through a dress rehearsal and not noticing and correcting them as the audience certainly did. Granted, some of the cast have much more experience in this medium and it showed. The actors playing Thomas Rogers, Fred Narracott (also responsible for the excellent set) and occasionally Dr. Edward Armstrong, need learn to speak up (did I mention speak up?), slow down and annunciate more clearly. They and Miss Vera Claythorne also need to learnt to speak to the audience, not the back of the stage. The others generally did well in that regard, with Inspector Blore being a standout. Unfortunately, while getting convincingly into the character and content of her performance, Miss Clayborne, especially during the critical emotional closing scene, uttered much of her lines in a high pitched, garbled machine gun stream that was completely incomprehensible. On the other hand, Mr. Justice Lawrence Wargrave's performance was overly dramatic, including his lines, which though certainly loud were very hard to decipher at times. He seemed to be over emphasizing his interpretation of his character and accent. He needs to tone it down a little to a more natural level. However, he definitely had good subtle acting stage presence when he was not the center of attention, while some others tended to just sit or stand motionless until it was their turn to speak or take an action. As to the rest of the actors and performances, they, or in the case of those specifically mentioned the rest of the time, did a solid well execute job certainly demonstrating their enthusiasm. Obviously, amateurs are not trained professionals and often have much to learn. It is easy to forget things up on stage in front of an audience trying to remember your lines, cues, actions, etc., (been there, done that). But as I previously mentioned, the vast majority of the issues are solidly the responsibility of the director. It is her job to direct the actors and teach and guide them in how to perform their roles. So, she has much to learn in her craft too. But I hope and anticipate that further performances of the play will show marked improvement. Overall, we enjoyed the performance and theater in general, but did come away with some disappointments. Given that this is an amateur group, I give the venue 5 stars and I still give the performance 4 stars, which with some work, could easily be raised to 5. I would certainly recommend it for a very pleasant and different evening out in Tri Cities. It is definitely a treat to be able to enjoy live theater like this outside of major metropolitan areas. We will certainly be looking forward to attending some of their other performance in future - notably "Silvia" by A.R. Gurney in January, also an interesting and unusual play.

A lot of really great local relics and historical write-ups about everything shown. The business display was closed but you can still see inside, would be a neat area to look around once it is done. As it was mentioned when I entered, it's a lot bigger than it looks from the outside which was entirely true. I'm not from the area and had no difficulties finding it or anywhere to park, even with the farmer's market going on nearby. I won't dock a star for it, but I really felt bad for the guy at the front desk getting chewed out by what I assume was the manager. I overheard most of it from the adjacent room, entirely unprofessional to do that within earshot of visitors but also her entire demeanor and dialog could have been 100 times nicer for what she was actually telling him. It honestly sounded like a parent harshly scolding their child.
