Abstract
"North Yakima is not only a city of magnificent distances but it is also a city of commerce and one of phenomenal growth. In 1884 when the first building was erected the present site of the city was a barren plain with few settlers in the surrounding country. Today it has a population of 5,000. The city has an efficient volunteer fire department; one steamer, four hose carts and one hook and ladder truck. The department also has 2,000 feet of good hose with 500 feet additional on the way there. There are fifty members on the rolls. The engine house is located on Front street, opposite the passenger depot."
