History

The city of Selah in Yakima County is located just north of Yakima above the confluence of the Naches and Yakima rivers. Its name comes from an Indian word meaning “still or smooth water,” although early missionaries to the region may have liked the name due to its similarity to the biblical word Selah. Early Selah farmers raised sheep, but once irrigation reached the region, Selah became known for its rich fruit orchards and later for the production of apple juice. By the 1970s it was also a bedroom community for its larger neighbor, Yakima which is the 10th largest city in the state.
