Yakima County Stadium

Yakima County Stadium (the orchard) is a baseball park in the northwest United States, located in Yakima, Washington. Opened 33 years ago in 1993, it succeeded Parker Field and was the home field of the Yakima Bears minor league team for twenty seasons. It is the current home of the Yakima Valley Pippins collegiate wood-bat team of the West Coast League and has a seating capacity of 2,800. At the northwest corner of the Central Washington State Fairgrounds, it is north of the Yakima SunDome, separated by a parking lot. The elevation of the natural grass playing field is just under 1,050 feet (320 m) above sea level, and it is aligned (home plate to center field) north-northeast. Singer Bob Dylan played the venue during his Never Ending Tour in 2010 on September 3. In 2013, Pacific Baseball Ventures, LLC were granted ownership of the Yakima Valley Pippins baseball team of the West Coast League. In 2014, the Pippins will fund a $100,000+ renovation to the stadium. the 2022 improvement brought 1,500 New reserved Stadium seats to the stadium Replacing about 1,200 chairback seats and bench seating with back support and originally other improvements including a new roofing under the seating structure, replacement of aging and damaged elements on the structure and repairing and repainting several areas inside the ballpark References External links Little Ball Parks – Yakima County Stadium Ballpark Reviews – Yakima County Stadium State Fair Park – Yakima County Stadium Stadium Journey – Yakima County Stadium

Yakima Valley Museum

The Yakima Valley Museum is a 65,000-square-foot (6,000 m2) facility offers historical exhibits on the Yakima Valley—its natural history, American Indian culture, pioneer life, early city life, and the roots and development of the Valley's fruit industry. Exhibits The museum has a superb collection of horse-drawn vehicles, from stagecoach to hearse. An historical exhibit and reconstruction of the Washington D.C. office of former Yakima resident and environmentalist, Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, an exhibit of petrified Miocene trees, a Neon Garden exhibit of vintage neon lights, and a changing schedule of special exhibitions. The museum collections are always available for research and study by appointment. Within the museum is the Children's Underground, a 2,500 sq ft (230 m2) interactive learning center offering museum-related educational activities and programs for children ages 5–15. The museum has a functioning replica of a late 1930s Art Deco soda fountain, called Museum Soda Fountain, that is furnished with salvaged and restored parts of authentic Yakima soda fountains. The museum's great hall, a grand performance space beneath the Neon Garden, offers programs and concerts throughout the year. The museum also operates the nearby, H. M. Gilbert Homeplace (2109 W. Yakima Ave); built in 1898, this late Victorian farmhouse is now filled with period furnishings. Yakima memory In July 2001, the Yakima Valley Library and Yakima Valley Museum began a project titled Yakima Memory to digitize approximately 9,000 photographs in two collections, and provide access to the new digitized collections via the internet.

Yale Bridge

The Yale Bridge or Lewis River Bridge spans the Lewis River near Yale, Washington. It was built in 1932 by Cowlitz and Clark counties. The suspension bridge has a clear span of 300 feet (91 m), with a total length of 532 feet (162 m), replacing a previous steel truss bridge at the site. Construction of the Ariel Dam had created Lake Merwin with a water depth of 90 feet (27 m) at the site, requiring a new bridge that did not need to have support piers in the water. The road deck, stiffened by a steel Warren truss, is 50 feet (15 m) above the high water line of the reservoir. History The bridge was designed by Harold H. Gilbert of the Washington State Highway Department, and was constructed by the Gilpin Construction Company of Portland, Oregon. Structure The only short-span steel suspension bridge in Washington, the bridge incorporates unique features. Only the central span is slung from the cables, with separate unloaded cables acting as backstays running from the 88.75-foot (27.05 m) tall towers to concrete anchorages in the canyon's rocky sides. The approach spans were originally supported from below by a timber structure. The cables are discontinuous at the towers, unlike most suspension bridges, in which the cables run over a saddle on the towers. With less wear, the cables could be smaller. The bridge deck is made of timbers with an asphalt overlay. The counties transferred the bridge to the Washington State Department of Highways in the late 1930s and it was refitted in 1957–58 with steel approach spans. It is noted for prominent brackets supporting osprey nests. Recognition The bridge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 16, 1982.

Soap Lake

Soap Lake is a meromictic soda lake in the town of Soap Lake, Washington formed by the Missoula Floods at the foot of the Grand Coulee. The lake gets its name from the naturally occurring foam that gives its water a soapy appearance, and because the lake's mineral-rich waters have a slick, soapy feel. The lake is approximately 2 square miles (5.2 km2) in area and 70 feet (21 m) deep. Qualities Soap Lake's mineral-rich waters have long been thought to have medicinal value. In fact, it is said that rival native tribes would call a truce when they came to Soap Lake to relax and heal themselves and their animals. This is verified by recorded history and the number of Native American artifacts found in the area over the years. Washington State tourist guides in the 1920s referred to Soap Lake as the "world's greatest mineral sea" and people afflicted with Buerger's disease said that bathing in the lake cured their illness. The city of Soap Lake bills itself as "Washington's Health Resort". There are 23 different minerals in Soap Lake water. Water quality assays conducted since 1910 to test the mineral content of Soap Lake water have shown that the mineral content of the lake has declined. Although it is not known what causes the foam, its quantity has declined since the construction of canals linking Soap Lake to upstream lakes and the Grand Coulee Dam. It is now rare to see any foam except on windy days. However, compared to the ocean and other known naturally occurring mineral resources in the world, Soap Lake still has the highest diverse mineral content of any body of water on the planet. Soap Lake water also contains ichthyols, an oil-like substance sold over the counter in Europe to treat infections and abrasions. The ichthyol in Soap Lake water most likely come from decomposition of tiny brine-like red shrimp that flourish in the water from late spring to mid-summer. Like the Dead Sea, the high mineral content of the lake makes the water very buoyant. The alkalinity of the lake is similar to that found on the moons of Jupiter. Because of this, in 2002 the National Science Foundation awarded a grant to researchers from Central Washington University to study the lake to learn about the possibility of life on Mars. Mineral content As of 2000: Less than 0.01 mg/L of aluminum, iron, copper, rubidium, lithium, strontium, barium, chromium, lead, manganese, titanium, vanadium, and boron.

Soap Lake

Soap Lake è un lago meromittico nella città di Soap Lake (Washington), negli Stati Uniti, formato dalle inondazioni del Missoula ai piedi della Grand Coulee. Il lago deve il suo nome (Soap Lake: letteralmente "Lago del sapone") alla schiuma di origine naturale che dà alle sue acque un'apparenza simile a quella del sapone e al fatto che le stesse acque, ricche di minerali, hanno una consistenza al tatto morbida, saponosa. Il lago ha approssimativamente una superficie di 5,12 km² ed una profondità di 21,2 m. Proprietà Da lungo tempo si ritiene che le acque ricche di minerali del Soap Lake abbiano proprietà terapeutiche. Si narra, infatti, che le tribù indiane rivali solevano fare una tregua quando si recavano al lago per curare sé stessi ed i loro animali. Ne sono prova le testimonianze storiche ed i numerosi manufatti indiani trovati in quest'area nel corso degli anni. Le guide turistiche dello Stato di Washington negli anni 1920 definivano il Soap Lake come "il più grande mare minerale del mondo" e le persone affette dalla malattia di Buerger ritenevano che avrebbero curato i loro mali bagnandosi nel lago. La stessa città di Soap Lake si fregia del titolo di "località termale di Washington". Nell'acqua del soap Lake sono presenti 23 minerali diversi. Le analisi sulla qualità dell'acqua condotte sin dal 1910 per saggiare il contenuto minerale del Soap Lake hanno mostrato che questo si è ridotto nel corso del tempo. Per quanto riguarda la schiuma, anche se non se ne conosce la causa, la sua quantità è diminuita dopo la costruzione dei canali che collegano il Soap Lake ad altri laghi a monte e alla diga Grand Coulee. Ora è raro vederla, tranne che in giorni ventosi. Ciononostante, in confronto all'oceano e ad altre fonti minerali conosciute di origine naturale nel mondo, il Soap Lake ha ancora il più elevato contenuto di minerali diversi di qualsiasi altro corpo acqueo del pianeta. L'acqua del Soap Lake contiene anche ittiolo, una sostanza oleosa liberamente venduta in Europa come medicamento per trattare infezioni ed abrasioni. È molto probabile che l'ittiolo nell'acqua del Soap Lake provenga dalla decomposizione di minuscoli gamberetti rossi simili a quelli di acqua salmastra, che prosperano nel lago da fine primavera a metà estate. Come nel caso del Mar Morto, l'alto contenuto minerale del lago conferisce all'acqua un notevole livello di galleggiamento. L'alcalinità del lago è simile a quella scoperta sulle lune di Giove. Per questa ragione, nel 2002 la National Science Foundation assegnò una borsa di studio a ricercatori della Central Washington University per studi sul lago, volti a verificare la possibilità di vita su Marte. Contenuto minerale Al 2000: Meno di 0,01 mg/l di alluminio, ferro, rame, rubidio, litio, stronzio, bario, cromo, piombo, manganese, titanio, vanadio e boro.

Edmount Island

Edmount Island, also called Ballinger Island, is a 3-acre (1.2 ha) island in Lake Ballinger, in the Seattle suburbs of south Snohomish County, in the U.S. state of Washington. A home was constructed on the island c. the early 1900s, in which lived settlers Ira Bartholemew and Julia Bartholomew, who may have built it as a hunting lodge, then Seattle mayor Richard A. Ballinger and Julia Ballinger during the summers, and Richard Achilles' father Col. Richard Henry Ballinger (from whom the lake the island is situated in is named for), a U.S. Civil War veteran. The Bartholomews were from Pennsylvania and homesteaded the lake island in 1862 – "perhaps, the only homestead of its kind in the entire country" – requiring the United States government to re-survey the land which did not exist in official records. A land patent was issued in 1902. At one time, a wooden bridge linked the west shore to the island. As of the 2010s, the island is part of Mountlake Terrace's Ballinger Park. The home and lodge are no longer standing. The island is made of peat, which was completely engulfed in a runaway barbecue fire during a summer heat wave in 2009. Since the fire, the island has been closed to public access, with emergency access provided by the local fire department's rigid inflatable boat.

Shoalwater Bay Tribe

De Shoalwater Bay Tribe, Lower Chinook of Chinook (van Tsinúk, de naam die de Chehalis hen gaven) zijn de bekendste stam van het Chinookvolk. Ze bewoonden de noordelijke oever van de Columbia in Washington vanaf de monding tot Grays bay over een afstand van 25 kilometer, en naar het noorden toe strekte hun woongebied zich uit tot Shoalwater bay, waar het grensde aan het territorium van de Chehalis. De Chinook werden het eerst beschreven door de expeditie van Lewis en Clark in 1805, hoewel ze al sinds minstens 12 jaar daarvoor contact hadden gehad met Spaanse en Britse handelaren. In het jaar 1800 werd hun aantal op 800 mensen geschat, waarvan er in het jaar 1855 slechts 112 over waren. Tegen die tijd waren ze door met de blanke handelaren meegekomen ziekten sterk uitgedund en grotendeels gemengd met het volk van de Chehalis, waarin ze later volledig zijn opgegaan. De Chinook waren gewiekste handelaren en zijn door hun bonthandel met Britse en Amerikaanse ondernemingen beroemd geworden. Door hun rol in de regionale handel vormde hun taal de basis voor het Chinook Jargon, de lingua franca van de noordwestkust van Noord-Amerika in de 19e eeuw. Ook is hun naam de aanduiding geworden voor de taalfamilie waartoe hun taal behoort, de Chinooktaalfamilie en voor de sprekers van de talen van deze familie. De overgeleverde stamnamen van de Chinook (in enge zin, niet de hele taalfamilie) zijn Chinook, Gitlapshoi, Nemah, Nisal, Palux, Wharhoots en Atsmitl.
