Black History Month Yakima: 12 Black Owned Businesses You Can Support Today
Black owned businessess in Yakima
Wait! Before you say to me, "Now, hold on there a minute, missy! Why do we gotta highlight Black-owned businesses? All businesses matter!" You'd be absolutely correct there, but it's officially Black History Month! We've gotta celebrate! There are not that many Black people living around here, I'm just keeping it real! So I want to say hi and give a huge shout out to some of our local Black businesses in Yakima and Central Washington. I often have people asking me to give them the names of some area Black-owned businesses they can support, especially because we have the freedom to do so!

Now that I've shared my Yakima-area list, here are some extra treats for you.
The first Black-owned business I want to say what's up to is a brewery in Woodinville, WA. I haven't had the pleasure of visiting their brewery but one of my best friends has and she says the beer and the vibes are so good there! It's a must-see!
