Digging into Quarter 1
Integration: Sense of
PrideBelonging
• Belonging and investment
facilitates community ownership.
• Pride or slogan for Yakima,
building a shared inclusive
identity.
• Promoting Yakima's assets.
• Neighborhood: security and up-
keep by residents knowing their
neighbors, national night out,
block watch
• Fun events
Why the Gap?
• Are there events/ tourism free of charge?
• Are media outlets, like Playdate Magazine,
offered in Spanish or other languages?
• Is info being delivered to all of the community?
And using what methods? Are those methods
culturally and linguistically competent?
• Are people asked what they want?
• Are people informed? Does the City Council and
City seek input from residents in multiple
languages, during multiple times per year, using
different methods?
• Do City Council and City employees need
cultural competency training?
Existing Resources and Programs
• Yakima Tourism
• Downtown Association
• I heart Yakima
• Craft Beverage Association
• Greenway Foundation
• Chamber of Commerce
• Masonic Lodge
• Wine associations
• SAFE Yakima

Kev Questions/Considerations:
• How does the City of Yakima engage people across the income spectrum?
• What are the highest needs among low-income and do they have the luxury to `integrate" into the City of
Yakima? Should "integration" into Yakima be a luxury available to only some?

PERCENTAGE OF POPULATION

Key Questions/Considerations:
• If the majority of our population is
under 40 years, how does that need to
impact City policies, decisions and
outreach?
• How are individuals of all ages being
"integrated"?
• If the majority of the County's youth
are Hispanic, are current City
systems culturally responsive,
anticipatory and reflective of that
diversity?
(Reasons why these are important are
connected to Q2 report regarding
benefits of integration)
