Yakima Valley College is a public two-year institution located in central Washington's Yakima Valley, situated in the agricultural hub of Yakima. The main campus spans 29 acres in a residential area of Yakima, with a satellite campus in Grandview serving the lower valley region. Established in 1928, YVC operates as a comprehensive community college offering transfer degrees, professional-technical programs, and basic skills education, with notable programs in vineyard technology, dental hygiene, and nursing. The college primarily serves commuter students from Yakima County and surrounding areas, though limited on-campus housing is available in the recently constructed West Campus residence hall. YVC maintains key partnerships with local agricultural industries and healthcare providers to support workforce development in the region.
