Progressive Mom's Group in Yakima Washington
We will be moving from Salem, Oregon to Yakima, Washington and my wife is worried that she won't be able to find like-minded people. I would appreciate any help on progressive mom's groups or similar stuff or clubs. Thanks everyone

Nearly half of Yakima County voters voted for Obama, if that's what you're asking. If that's not what you meant, then your question is too vague. What is she interested in?

she is interested in breastfeeding groups, u-pick farms, she calls it "crunchy" people. AP (Attached Parenting), home schoolers, progressive thinkers in general.

This might not be the right forum to find these types of groups for your wife. Have you checked on the local craigslist under the community section to see if there are groups she might be interested in joining? It might be one of those situations where she won't actually find other similar women friends until she makes the move and starts to meet people.

I'd say the short answer is that she's going to have to go hunting for these. She may have to gather and build them herself from social networking. You won't have to look around Yakima very long to assign it a grade of D+ in the progressive parenting department.
Wendy's right. Her odds of finding or starting such a group are far better on Yak CL than here.

Hi there! I don't know if you are still having trouble finding a group but we just moved here from the east coast and this was a huge concern for me as well. Luckily I found a couple of other moms who have similar values and they started a yahoo group! Here is the link: crunchymomsofyakima : Crunchy & AP Moms Of Yakima
I'm sure they would be happy to have her join, they have been really helpful to me figuring out our way around. We've only been here a month but I am already feeling much more comfortable. Now we just have to find more AP'd kids to have playdates with! |
