In the lower Yakima Valley, Toppenish is the town "where the West still lives." Daily wagon tours of its building murals are popular with tourists. The nearby Yakama Indian Nation runs a family-friendly casino and will soon add a retail center to a growing list of economic development assets, which may one day include a golf course, hotel and convention center. Zillah is a classic country town with a white-steepled church -- and talk of a water park up the road. In Sunnyside, tourists can see how cheese is made at the Darigold plant. Sunnyside has also grown as a lower valley retail center. New residential neighborhoods are springing up in Grandview, which is busily updating streets and public facilities to enhance its neighboring industrial park.
