About PLAYDATE

Welcome to PlaydateYakima.com. We’re glad you stopped by.

PlaydateYakima.com and PLAYDATE Magazine are a gathering spot for Yakima Valley parents and caregivers of infants through teens. We’re all about community events and happenings, activities and recreation; about where to locate educational opportunities and fun; and about how to find useful products and services specific to the needs of busy young families.

PLAYDATE is a free magazine and family resource guide published six times a year by the Yakima Herald-Republic. Each issue offers practical ideas you can really use, including the Valley’s most complete kid-friendly calendar. Look for PLAYDATE at the doctor’s office, grocery stores, daycare centers — you know, places where parents go.

We’ll keep the calendar up-to-date at PlaydateYakima.com, where readers are invited to “talk back” and add to the discussion. Our goal is to be approachable and interactive, so give a holler when you have feedback or a story idea — or if you’d like to contribute your talents as a writer, photographer or model.
