I had 2 babies (in the 80’s) in Sunnyside, closer to Hanford than Yakima - they were and are just fine. My two daughters have had a total of 4 children born at Yakima Memorial Hospital (within a 10 yr period). All four were and are fine. However, in the past 10 yrs I've had 5-6 friends die of cancer. All lived in Selah (bedroom community to Yakima). Is that related to the pesticides used in agriculture? Who knows, could be from the ash fall from Mt St Helens. But unless long-term studies are done, it may never be known if there is a link.

Oregon plant was buried there later, 1999 I think.
