My coffee addiction is so bad that, when the local coffee shop closed, a newspaper contacted me for my reaction.
Please read this article Sunnyside’s popular coffee hub closes, from today’s Yakima Herald Republic.
I wish Aaron, Lino, and the rest of their family the best of luck in their future endeavors. Guerra’s Coffee Co. on South First will be missed.

Diego, who is a contributor to this blog, offered his support to Jason Raines for Sunnyside City Council with a letter to the editor in today’s Daily Sun News.
This is what he said:
It is said that local elections usually fail to attract quality candidates. That is not the case in Sunnyside.
My friend, Jason Raines, is a candidate for city council, running on the importance of prioritizing spending and public safety. Unlike most politicians, Jason offers ideas and solutions, not rhetoric.
His passion for keeping streets safe earned him the distinct endorsement of the Sunnyside Police Officers Guild.
Please join me in supporting Jason Raines, the solution-based candidate.
/s/ Diego Trejo,

Vote for Jason Raines
Sunnyside is a wonderful place to live! We need to thank our police and fire departments for keeping us safe.
As a business owner, I am concerned about keeping Sunnyside safe for our families and tourists. That is why I am endorsing Jason Raines for city council. Jason is an Army veteran, he is involved with our schools and he is also endorsed by the Sunnyside Police Department. I know Jason to be a hard working, trustworthy person who shares my concerns for our community.
Please vote for Jason Raines for city council.
/s/ Laurie S. Beltman, Sunnyside

A former mayor in the Yakima Valley is endorsing Raines for Sunnyside City Council. The following letter was published 10/03/11 by the Yakima Herald-Republic (yakima-herald.com).
Back Raines in Sunnyside
To the editor — Jason Raines is running for Sunnyside City Council, Position 5.
Jason believes public safety should be the No. 1 priority of local government. A community thrives only when its citizens are able to live and work in safe neighborhoods, not fearing for the safety of their children, homes and businesses. Jason will work hard to achieve safety for all Sunnyside citizens, which is why he has earned the endorsement of the Sunnyside Police Officers Guild.
As a former Army captain, Jason knows firsthand how to be a team player, and that goals are accomplished only when people work together. Jason will work tirelessly with other Yakima Valley governments, as well as citizens and organizations within the Sunnyside community, to provide safe neighborhoods, quality infrastructure and a community people will be proud to call their home. A father of three, Jason cares about creating a great environment for Sunnyside’s youth.
Jason brings a no-nonsense approach to his decision-making, listens to all points of view and values everyone at the table. Jason Raines is exactly whom Sunnyside needs to move the community toward prosperity, and as a former Tieton mayor, I’m proud to endorse him for Sunnyside City Council, Position 5.
