🔥 Another Fire Reported Along Yakima Greenway

Around 5:40 p.m. on August 29, 2026, another fire was reported along the Yakima Greenway path.

The fire was seen from the 16th Avenue area and appeared to be burning approximately halfway down the Greenway trail between 16th Avenue and 6th Avenue.

Fire crews were able to quickly get the fire under control and extinguish it before it could spread further. 🚒🔥

This comes after three separate fires were reported along the same stretch of the Yakima Greenway early this morning, around 2:20 a.m. The earlier fires were first reported near the 16th Avenue overpass, with two additional fires noticed further down the trail toward the Gordon Road overpass area.

There have been numerous fires reported along the Yakima Greenway over the past month, making another fire along this same stretch of trail especially concerning.

🔥 Three More Fires Reported Along Yakima Greenway Overnight

It happened again.

Around 2:20 a.m. on August 29, 2026, the first fire was reported along the Yakima Greenway near the 16th Avenue overpass.

After officers arrived in the area, two additional fires were noticed further down the Greenway, stretching toward the Gordon Road overpass area. All three fires were located along the Greenway path near Highway 12.

There have been countless fires in this area over the past month. Many have been relatively small and able to be extinguished quickly, but one recent fire grew much larger and resulted in power being shut off to thousands of people in the Yakima Valley.

Luckily, these three fires were noticed quickly and taken care of promptly before they could spread.

I did not hear of any arrests being made over the scanner, so at this time, it appears whoever may be responsible could still be at large.

With the number of fires that have been occurring along the Greenway recently, the situation is becoming increasingly concerning. 🔥🚒

🚨 Apartment Fire Reported at The Senator Apartments in Yakima 🔥

An apartment complex near Front Street and Pendleton Way in Yakima caught fire early Saturday morning, August 29, 2026.

The fire occurred at The Senator Apartments, located at 20 Staff Sgt. Pendleton Way in Yakima.

According to a tenant, the fire reportedly started in Unit 69 on the second floor. The tenant said he attempted to put out the fire, which was located two doors down from his unit, using a fire extinguisher. However, he said the extinguisher was weak and was not enough to stop the flames.

He then made multiple trips up and down the stairs, helping residents get out of the building until the smoke became too thick. At that point, he said he waited for the fire department to arrive.

The tenant believes everyone was able to safely evacuate the building. The extent of any injuries is unknown at this time, although no major injuries were observed at the scene.

More information will be shared if it becomes available. 🙏🔥

The Moon passing through Earth’s shadow created this incredible deep red/copper glow. Even though it wasn’t quite a total eclipse, it was still an incredible sight to see. ✨

As many of you may know, the terrible accident that happened a few nights ago has sadly ended with Katie passing away. 😔

I wanted to share some information from the family’s GoFundMe, along with the link for anyone who would like to learn more or help support them during this incredibly difficult time. 🙏

From the GoFundMe page:

"Our family and loved ones have suffered an unimaginable loss with the passing of Katie Jean Miller. Katie leaves behind her three young boys and so many people who loved her deeply. Katie was so much more than a mother. She was a daughter, sister, aunt, and a beloved friend. Most importantly, she was a mom to three beautiful boys who now have to face life without their mother. There are no words that can truly express the heartbreak of losing Katie or the emptiness her absence leaves behind.

We are asking for help to give Katie the proper funeral and final resting place she deserves. We want to create a place where her boys can go, remember their mom, talk to her, and feel close to her as they grow up. Having a special place to visit Katie will mean so much to them in the years ahead. The costs of losing someone unexpectedly can be overwhelming, and we would be incredibly grateful for any support. All funds raised will first go toward Katie’s funeral and resting place. Any additional funds will be placed into a savings account for her three boys, so that something lasting can be provided for them as they navigate life without their mom. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean just as much to our family. Every donation, share, prayer, and kind thought for Katie and her boys is deeply appreciated. Thank you for helping us honor Katie’s life and, most importantly, support the three boys she loved more than anything."

For those of you who know me mainly for my photography, I’ve recently been expanding into conversations and interviews with people around the Yakima Valley.

I like to sit down, listen, and sometimes talk about the “hot topics” and controversial issues affecting our community.

This time, I sat down with Yakima County Sheriff candidate Roman Kilikaridinis.

We talked about his position on Flock cameras. Roman told me he is no longer fully supportive of Flock, particularly because some cameras facing areas like parks and pools have live-feed capabilities, which he feels can be invasive.

After our interview, I asked Roman if he would make a short video directly addressing the community and making a pledge regarding Flock, while also giving him an opportunity to talk about anything else he wanted to share about his campaign.

His pledge: If elected Sheriff, Roman says he will deactivate all Flock cameras under his control until the public has an opportunity to vote on whether they should remain in use.

Roman also talks about supporting mental-health resources for officers and says he would be willing to put a portion of his own salary toward those efforts.

He says he's not running for the money, fame, or power. He says he wants to help the community and make Yakima County a better place.

This is not an endorsement of any candidate. I’ve also reached out to the other candidate in this race to offer them the opportunity for a similar conversation.

Election Day is November 3, 2026. 🗳️

Pedestrian Struck by Vehicle on 5th Avenue

Yakima, WA — August 25, 2026

A pedestrian was struck by a moving vehicle around 11:40 p.m. near 5th Avenue and West A Street in Yakima.

The pedestrian was transported from the scene by ambulance. Witnesses at the scene reported that CPR appeared to be underway, and the incident appeared to be a critical-condition situation.

5th Avenue was closed from MLK Jr. Boulevard to Yakima Avenue while authorities investigated the collision.

Several of the victim's belongings could be seen scattered across the roadway, with yellow evidence markers placed around the scene.

The circumstances leading up to the collision, including the vehicle's speed, remain unclear. The driver was reportedly administered field sobriety testing, and no arrest was observed at the scene.

UPDATE: I have received information from a trusted source that victim has sadly passed away.

This is a developing story, and details may change as more information becomes available.

🚨 NEW FLOCK CAMERA INSTALLED AT CHESTERLEY PARK

A new AI-powered, searchable Flock live-video camera has been installed at the corner of N 40th Ave and Powerhouse Rd, facing directly into Chesterley Park and the soccer fields.

I asked Police Chief Boyle about the system today, and he said he believes these cameras record and store footage for 30 days, because they do not technically fall under Washington state’s recently passed ALPR law, which limits retention of ALPR data to 21 days.

The stored footage can then be searched using characteristics of the person or object being looked for. While the system uses AI-powered searches, it is not technically facial recognition.

These cameras are part of Yakima County’s newer wave of live-video surveillance cameras, funded through the county’s COVID relief funding (ARPA funds).

This is the same type of camera recently installed at Franklin Park, representing another expansion of live, searchable video surveillance into Yakima’s public parks.

📍 Chesterley Park — N 40th Ave & Powerhouse Rd

What do you think about AI-powered, searchable cameras that record and store video in public parks? Are they making our parks safer, or going too far?
