What drying runs into in Yakima
Serving Yakima and the surrounding area, including Riverview Manor.
Local housing stock
72.9 percent of Yakima's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1972, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1972 with nearly three quarters predating 1990, these houses sit on valley soils that include ash from the eruptions of the last century, a fine material that lies in layers within the ordinary soil profile.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a December job at another, 74 degrees against 31.7; the 8.6 inches a year peak in December at 1.41, both figures recorded at YAKIMA #2, 0.9 miles away. December is the wettest month at 1.41 inches of an 8.6-inch year and four months average lows below freezing, so almost nothing reaches that ground naturally; what wets it is irrigation, a broken line or a downspout discharging at one point.
How water losses tend to end in Yakima
- A fine layered soil that loses strength when saturated rather than swelling
- Water finding a path along an ash layer and traveling rather than soaking in
- Ground conditions that vary sharply over a few feet, so one corner behaves differently
