North Yakima - 1888 From R. L. Polk & Co.'s 1888 Puget Sound Directory Transcribed & Edited by Mike & Julie Sweeney NORTH YAKIMA A flourishing incorporated city on the C division of N.P.R.R. on the Yakima River, in Yakima county, of which it is the county seat. The town has only been about three years in existence, but has already become an important center and at its present rate of increase will soon become one of the largest cities in Washington Territory. It is already the metropolis of an extensive region extending west to the Cascade mountains and east to the Columbia river, embracing a number of fertile valleys especially adapted for the raising of wheat, hops, and fruit. The city now contains several churches, a good graded school, two banks, a flour mill, a planing mill, a new opera house and a number of general stores. The drug, hardware, grocery and other lines of business are will represented. Three newspapers are published,- the Republic, the Signal and the Washington Farmer. Stages to Fort Simcoe and into the Big Bend country. Population, about 1,200. Exp., N. P. Te'., W. U. and Mail, daily. George W. Carey, postmaster. [Exp. - Express, N.
