Hey, moving up to Yakima this week through August for an internship. Anyone play there or in the area around? Sorry, if there’s already a thread for an area around there… don’t know much of anything about Washington geography. I’m coming from the southeast.
There’s people in the Richland/Kennewick/Pasco area ~1.5 hours away, Seattle area’s ~2.5 hours in the opposite direction, and Portland’s ~3.5 hours southwest of you with Spokane ~3.5 hours in the opposite direction. As for anything closer than that, I don’t know.
There’s also a few tournaments coming up in the general area: Northwest Majors in Seattle June 2nd & 3rd, Spoklash in Spokane on June 9th, and the Walla Walla guys are planning a tournament for the 23rd of June down there.
