The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) filed a proposal to expand its Yakima Construction Shop at 3705 W Washington Ave. The project includes two shop expansions and one vehicle storage shed on the existing 80-by-120-foot facility.

WDFW's application, issued September 10, includes a public comment period ending September 24. The agency stated access will continue from the existing driveway on West Washington Avenue. No cost details or construction timeline were provided in the filing.

This project is the only one directly affecting Yakima city limits from the list of seven SEPA filings. The other proposals involve Union Gap, Sunnyside, or are for water system updates not impacting Yakima residents.
