Construction & Remodeling in Yakima, WA

Yakima work can include kitchen and bath remodels, roof replacements, additions and new homes in the dry Zone 5B climate east of the Cascades. City design criteria call for a 24-inch frost depth and ice-barrier underlayment, and electrical permits come from L&I.

What shapes a project in Yakima

Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.

  1. Local design criteria

    Yakima lists a 24-inch frost depth, a 19 psf ground snow load, an 11 degree winter design temperature and required ice-barrier underlayment. Termite damage risk is listed as slight to moderate, and the city points owners to FEMA flood maps.

  2. Electrical permits from L&I

    The city's design criteria sheet says electrical permits in Yakima are applied for and issued through Washington State L&I, not the city.
