Central Washington is an agricultural powerhouse. And in the summer, it’s often dominated by headlines of fires (and smoke) affecting the region. But from the Columbia River to Cascade Crest, from Canada to Oregon, there’s a lot going on.
NWPB Yakima Valley correspondent Esmy Jimenez doesn’t just cover the region, she lives in it, grew up in it, and understands its issues and people.
She joined news manager Scott Leadingham to discuss some of the big, human stories coming (still) from the Rattlesnake Ridge landslide near Yakima. And she talked about the complicated and messy history of “blood quantum” for Native American communities – and what it’s like dating within the relatively small population of the Yakama Nation.
