has been a proud, strong partner to our US Military men and women assigned to the Yakima Training Center since inception. The time honored tradition of the Change of Command Ceremony is always a special reminder of the values and sacrifices made by those who put on the uniform to protect and serve, as well as honor the many civilians who are local community members committed to answering the call to serve.

Thank you, LTC Terry Gambrel, for your and your family’s service to our country and for your strong leadership!

Welcome, LTC Alan Lancaster and family to Yakima County! We are grateful for you and look forward to our continued partnership!

We wanted to extend more gratitude, Yakima Valley Emergency Management brought their support team out to provide food and their command trailer to us while we were fighting this fire. Thank you to Domino's Pizza of Selah, Magics Pizza Selah WA, Burger Ranch of Selah, King's Row Drive In, Taqueria Los Primos Selah, McDonald's of Selah, and River canyon espresso & Eatery for all the food and drinks they provided.

We also wanted to give a huge shout out to our community. The strike team that came in to help from Chelan County was taken aback by just how much support, food, and drinks they received from our community. We also wanted to say thank you to all of the neighbors helping each other, it was amazing to see in times of need that everyone was helping everyone. Thank you all for being beacons that others can look to in times of need.
