The Yakima River is a tributary of the Columbia River in south central and eastern Washington state, named for the indigenous Yakama people. The length of the river from headwaters to mouth is 214 miles, with an average drop of 9.85 feet per mile. It is the longest river in Washington state; the river rises in the Cascade Range at an elevation of 2,449 feet at Keechelus Dam on Keechelus Lake near Snoqualmie Pass, near Easton. The river flows through that town, skirts Ellensburg, passes the city of Yakima, continues southeast to Richland, where it flows into the Columbia River creating the Yakima River Delta at an elevation of 340 feet. About 9 million years ago, the Yakima River flowed south from near Vantage to the Tri-Cities, turned west straight for the ocean through Badger Canyon west of Kennewick. Badger Canyon was once a waterway of the Yakima River, this pre-existing channel led the Yakima River to make tribute to the Columbia River at the current location of the city of Kennewick. Beginning nearly 15,000 years ago the Columbia Plateau was transformed by the successive Missoula glacial outburst floods.

Much of the flood water made way down the Columbia river Channel where a'choke-point' known as Wallula Gap caused the restriction of flow. Floodwaters began ponding near the Tri-Cities resulting in the back-flooding of the Columbia's tributary valleys. Badger Canyon was an entry point for back-flooding of the Yakima Valley, successive floods left behind thick deposits of sediments in Badger Canyon and the Valley beyond; these flood deposits which were deposited in large quantities in short amounts of time changed the ground elevation within badger canyon causing the Yakima River to re-route north of Red Mountain and enter the Columbia River by present-day Richland. During the last ice age, the Missoula Floods further altered the landscape of the area, opening up the Horn Rapids area to the Yakima River; the West Fork of Amon Creek now utilizes Badger Canyon. The first western explorers to visit the river were Lewis and Clark on or about October 17, 1805, they stopped at the confluence of the Yakima and the Columbia, although they did not proceed upriver.

The river was known to local Native Americans as "Tap Teel", although the area has been inhabited since prehistory. The Yakima River is used for rafting and fishing around the Ellensburg area and near the confluence with the Columbia River during the summer months; the Yakima River is ranked between Class I and Class II rapids, depending on the circumstances and season. In the Tri-Cities, the delta where the Yakima meets the Columbia has several hiking trails; the dry climate, with over 300 sunshine days a year, draws visitors from Seattle, about two hours' drive away. The Yakima River Basin consists of 6,150 square miles located in south central Washington state, it is bounded by the Cascade Mountains on the west, the Wenatchee Mountains on the north, Rattlesnake Mountain and the Rattlesnake Hills on the east, the Horse Heaven Hills to the south. The basin encompasses areas designated by the Washington Department of Ecology as the Upper Yakima Water Resource Inventory Areas 38 and 39 and the Lower Yakima WRIA 37.

The dividing line between these northern and southern sections is the confluence of the Naches and Yakima Rivers. The Yakima River provides irrigation for the dry but fertile land in the valley, irrigated agriculture is the economic base. Agricultural land totals 1,000 square miles, including irrigated pastures, grapes and field crops. A significant portion of Washington apples and cherries are grown in the valley, as well as most of the United States's hops. Since the late 20th century, the wine industry has grown in the area, it is the location of a designated American Viticultural Area. Major landowners in the valley include the Yakama Indian Nation. Private ownership accounts for 1,246,818 acres; the United States Forest Service manages 892,509 acres, the Yakama Nation owns 889,786 acres within the basin. Forested areas in the northern and western portions of the basin occupy 2,200 square miles and are used for recreation, wildlife habitat, timber harvest and tribal cultural activities. Range lands comprise about 2,900 square miles and are used for military training, wildlife habitat, tribal cultural activities.

Major population centers include the city of the Tri-Cities area. Population growth for the 1990s was projected at 7.9% in Kittitas County, 19.7% in Yakima County, 22.7% in Benton County. While much of the growth in Benton and Yakima counties has been in and around the incorporated areas, most of the growth in Kittitas County has been in unincorporated areas. In addition to irrigated agriculture, the major economic driving forces include timber harvest and processing and outdoor recreation. With the significant reduction in timber harvesting on federal lands and the implementation of the Northwest Forest Plan to protect the endangered northern spotted owl, the timber economy has been eroded in recent years; the proximity to high population areas of the Puget Sound has caused a rapid increase in the demand for outdoor recreational experiences in the basin. The Yakima River and its tributaries have been altered for the purpose of irrigated agriculture. There are numerous dams and irrigation canals.

Irrigation runoff is in places returned to the river through canal drains. The irrigation system in the Yakima's watershed causes periods of both severe river dewatering and elevated flows, relative to the historic streamflow regime; as a r

Sinco envisioned the college to contribute to the overall national program of development. During the time of the college's founding, Filipinos were still in the process of building the nation; the college had a three-fold function — instruction and community action. The success of this mission was recognized in 1963, when Foundation College received international recognition and was invited to become a member of the International Association of Universities; the college was the first institution in the Visayas and Mindanao to receive this honor, the first institution in the world, not a full university to become a member of this organization.
