City Guide for Yakima, WA

Psst! Down here! Looking for some extra information on Yakima? Well, we’ve got it! First and foremost, let’s have a little lesson on pronunciation, shall we? Yakima: emphasis on the “Yak”, glide right through the “i”, and make sure to top it off with a good hearty “maw”. Definition? The eighth largest city in Washington state. Yakima is located in the Yakima Valley, which is a premiere production area for apples and wine (and, apple wine, we assume), as well as one of the nation’s top producers of hops. Nestled between beautiful, scenic mountains, Yakima is a small-town place with a certain Pacific Northwestern charm. See more

What to keep in mind when looking for dog friendly apartments in Yakima, WA

Finding an apartment in Yakima that accepts your pet may not be easy, but it’s very possible. Keep in mind, most of the time you’ll have to pay a premium for bringing your dog along in your new apartment. Some apartments require you to pay monthly pet rent, others will ask for a non-refundable pet fee or a refundable pet deposit.

While landlords and property management companies have varying pet policies, most of them limit the number of dogs you can bring to your apartment and include breed and weight restrictions.

If your pet falls under some of the restrictions outlined in the pet policy, it’s still worth asking the landlord if they can make an exception for your dog. Preparing a pet resume ahead of time could help you build the case for your furry friend. Make sure to include information on behavioral training your dog went through over the years and proof of vaccinations. If you can, include references from your former landlord and/or neighbors.
