Good morning, Yakima.
🏘️ Community
The Lynchpin Foundation offers weekly open houses with games like Dungeons & Dragons, Nerf leagues, and Minecraft so young people can practice social skills; Teen Night is held Friday evenings, sessions are $15 or $35 for social-group programs with scholarships, and the center is on the 1200 block of Chesterley Drive.
🎭 Culture
The documentary Capturing Bigfoot screened Saturday night at The Majestic in Union Gap, reuniting Roger Patterson's family, producer Tamir Ardon, and Bob Heironimus while showing newly found rehearsal footage that revisits the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film (now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video).

Heritage University received a $2.5 million federal grant to build a nursing pipeline for rural, first-generation students from 11 county high schools, offering readiness, hands-on training and job transition support through September 2030 with partners including MultiCare Yakima Memorial Hospital and UW GEAR UP.
