#AbandonedYakima

Movies are filmed all around the world, but I feel like Yakima is the perfect spot for Hollywoods biggest projects.

Remember that vacant spot that sits next door to Santiago's that has been empty for eons?

Being it's October and Halloween is upon us as well, we decided to look into two buildings that have been empty for years.

It's no secret we love thrifting, and we constantly hit up thrift stores ... however, it's always sad to see a thrift store close up -- leaving one less place to hunt for treasured items that you never thought you would want or need.

At first, we weren't sure if this place was closed as the sign on the window stated that it was "closed for construction ..." However, a couple of months have passed and the building is still empty -- with no sign of activity.

The church was home to Westpark Academy -- a local private school. They have now moved to the former St. Paul's Cathedral School.

Many who grew up in Yakima in the '80s and '90s will remember this as the old PayLess Drug Store that was right next door to Safeway.
