Yakima has reached a settlement over a wildfire that scorched the Selah ridge last summer. The city of Yakima says because the city's insurance has already reached its deductible, none of this money will come from the city's budget. The insurance will pay $130,000 to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for damages caused in the South Wenas fire back in June of 2017.
