CITY OF YAKIMA
HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
Yakima City Hall
129 N. 2"d St,
Yakima, WA 98901
November 14, 2024
To the City Council of Yakima:
In its capacity as an advisory commission to the city council on matters of Yakima history and
historic preservation (YMC 11.62.040 D.10) and to fulfill its obligation to safeguard structures
which reflect significant elements of Yakima history (YMC 11.62.010 A),the Yakima Historic
Preservation Commission writes the following.
Recently, the City of Yakima presented three potential concepts for a 6th Avenue rebuilding
project and asked for public input to help determine the project's path forward. Two of the three
concepts retain the existing trolley tracks that are built into 6th Avenue, while the third concept
would remove the tracks entirely from the project area.
The Historic Preservation Commission strongly recommends against any rebuilding/renovation
plans that would remove the trolley tracks. The 6th Avenue tracks are the link between Yakima
and Selah that make Yakima's trolley and its original power source the only interurban electric
railroad of its kind in the entire United States. Severing this link would destroy a truly unique
aspect of Yakima and deal a devastating blow to an operational and interactive piece of our city's
history. It would also negate a nearly-complete application for National Historic Landmark status
-a rare and noteworthy recognition in Eastern Washington.
In addition, developing long-range improvement plans and enhancing the Yakima Valley Trolley
is a defined goal in the Historic Preservation Element of the Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040
(12.4.2). Crippling the trolley by removing the most important part of its remaining track system
would run directly counter to the City's own clearly-stated intentions.
We are fortunate to have the trolley as an heirloom of Yakima's heritage and a vibrant thread in
our cultural tapestry. The trolley is irreplaceable and we hope the Council will recognize the
importance of preserving its tremendous historic value.
Respectfully,
The Yakima Historic Preservation Commission
Cynthia Hall, Chair
