The Sunnyside Police Department would like to thank and acknowledge all those who participated in our National Night Out celebration Tuesday, August 6th, 2019.

Sunnyside Valley Irrigation only has a letter stating that they only accept certified funds for four-year payment (process for foreclosure payment) and not a resolution or bylaw.

Concerns with Ostrom’s Mushroom Factory adding abhorrent smells to our already smelly Sunnyside air quality. Tons and tons of hot messy chicken manure will be brought into this plant.

I just read this quote and it resonated with me.

With the adjudication of water rights in the Yakima Basin completed, it’s time to locate the water needed to fulfill those rights.

I learned last Friday that the date for the Public Hearing on Marijuana Retail Sales in Sunnyside is scheduled for June 6, 2019.

We appreciate the fact that the City of Sunnyside has now given the public proper notice of a scheduled public hearing regarding a proposal to permit retail sales of recreational marijuana.

Dear Fellow Sunnyside Residents,

As a council person my name was used in a recent article in this newspaper.

I am writing to address concerns I have about how things are reported and/or presented in the Sunnyside Sun in regards to the current ban on marijuana retail stores.

We appreciate the comments by the editor in the April 24, 2019 edition of the Sunnyside Sun.
