Yakima County approved a modification to a golf course project at 1250 Rocky Ford Rd in Toppenish, where Magic Investments LLC plans to expand a fire suppression pond. The original proposal included four irrigation ponds, which were withdrawn. The fire pond will now be formally established in the Agriculture (AG) zoning district. The project was issued on August 6, 2026, with public comments due by August 20, 2026.
The change affects the Mt. Adams Country Club and Golf Course, located on parcels 201021-41001 and 201022-31423. The golf course is within Yakima County, but Toppenish is a separate city. The fire pond expansion aims to improve safety and water access for fire suppression. Yakima residents may not be directly impacted, as Toppenish is outside Yakima city limits.
The county's SEPA record shows the project is still under review, with comments open until August 20.
