Situated in the heart of downtown Yakima, the Old North Yakima Historic District has been the center of transportation, government, and commerce in the Yakima Valley. In 1885, the Northern Pacific Railroad selected the site for its first depot in the region. Creating North Yakima, the district buildings, the depot, brewery, opera house, hotels and taverns, and retail stores became the nucleus for the present city of Yakima. The district includes a good collection of late Victorian and early 20th century commercial buildings. Modern construction and demolition leave these buildings as a remaining element of the original fabric of Yakima.
