Yakima, being in a valley, is no stranger to fog.

It's not like there's fog every day or even every month, but there'll be times when fog will hit Yakima which will spark people to say things like 'ooh, look at the fog!' or, 'it looks like Silent Hill outside,' or something of that nature.

Though it's never fun to drive in, it can be fun to experience.

Here are just a small handful of things you can do to take advantage of a fog-filled day in Yakima.

Outdoor Fog Activities

Photography
Perfect opportunity to use this time to take some photos. Cosplay photos can turn out especially well in this time of weather.

Go on a walk.
It doesn't have to be a long walk, even just around the block would be fine. The air just feels more breathable in the fog.

Go to the park.
Most any park in Yakima will do. Depending on how foggy it is, you can barely see the entire park making it for a fun atmosphere.

If you need a few suggestions, here's a few quick answers.

  • Silent Hill
  • The Fog
  • The Mist
  • Sleepy Hollow
  • Cooking

    I don't know what it is about the fog outside, but it makes me just wanna stay home and cook something like a chili or soup. Something warm to ward off the cold, foggy spirits.

    With the chill in the air along with the air stagnation we've had a bit of fog the last little bit and there's always call for it to return.
