Yakima County does not publish a food-truck vending-zone map for unincorporated areas. Where a truck may set up depends on the parcel's zoning and the owner's permission. Cities in the valley set their own vending rules and event locations inside their limits.
In unincorporated Yakima County, there is no county-wide vending district scheme or fixed distance-from-restaurant buffer. A truck may operate where the parcel's zoning allows the use and the property owner consents; the Yakima Health District permit governs food safety rather than location. Along state highways, the Washington State Department of Transportation controls the right-of-way. Cities such as Yakima, Sunnyside, Grandview, and Selah each set their own vending-location, downtown, and special-event rules within their limits, so a truck working several jurisdictions follows multiple sets of location rules.
Vending on a parcel where zoning does not allow it draws county zoning enforcement. Vending without the owner's consent is trespass, and blocking a road, sidewalk, or state right-of-way draws traffic enforcement.
