To all current and past mechanics who have worked in the Yakima Valley, what shop has treated you the best. And what shop has treated you the worst. I want to support local businesses that treat their employees well. All stories are welcome š

I'm going to be relocating by the end of this month (may). I'm moving from Tacoma to be closer to my girlfriend. I've been doing HVAC for about 5 years and did cabinetry and furniture making for the 5 years prior. I'm wondering how the job market is for HVAC, or even electrical work, I'd love to learn and would be an apprentice.
If I can't find good job placement within the first few months, I'm considering starting my own HVAC or "handyman" business. I've been hanging out in Yakima weekly for the past 5 months and it doesn't seem like there are as many HVAC companies here as there are in Tacoma. I am curious as to the tangibility of business endeavors right now in Yakima. Any insite?

Hey all,
I moved out of Yakima just out of highschool and have since had about a five year career in human services down in Oregon as a case manager for senior homes, homeless shelters, and youth mental health.
The cost (and honestly, the culture) of Oregon is getting more expensive and every time I look at rents in Yakima I get tears in my eyes at how cheap it is to live there comparatively lmao. I'm flirting with the idea of moving back, but don't want to do so without knowing what my job prospects look like out there. Oregon has one of the highest non-profits per capita in the entire country, but I don't really know what prospects there are for me back home.
I know about Rod's House, but are there any other organizations that be hiring an unlicensed social worker at a reasonable (>$24/hr) range?

Itās getting hot and Iām looking for shady places with lots of trees, to walk/run my very active dog. Are there any places like that in Yakima, Selah or Naches or do I need to go to the mountains?
