Living in Sunnyside

Moving Here

Sunnyside is ideally located in the Yakima Valley of eastern Washington, approximately 2 1/2 hours from Seattle, Spokane, and Portland. Located roughly 35 miles from Yakima and 45 miles from the Tri-Cities area, Sunnyside is a retail hub for the Valley area.

Our community offers a small town atmosphere with outstanding potential for economic growth.  With a population of just over 15,000 residents, it is the second largest city in Yakima County.

Sunnyside High School is a 3A High School and Sunnyside Christian High School is a private non-denominational high school also located in our community. Both schools offer excellent educational opportunities for their students. Higher learning opportunities are available nearby through Yakima Valley Community College, Columbia Basin Community College, Heritage University, Central Washington University, and a Washington State University satelite campus located in Tri-Cities.
