What it’s like
The place. Moxee is a small city in Yakima County where nearly everyone owns the home they live in. Household incomes run well above the county's, and fewer people live below the poverty line than you might expect for the area. Winters are cold, with December highs near freezing and a fair amount of snow, while July brings hot days; precipitation overall is light.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, the building trades and manufacturing also common. Moxee's largest workplaces include the Ace Hardware retail support center, the East Valley School District and Olympic Fruit, which sorts and packs fruit. The typical commute is a fairly short one, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. A short drive away, the Yakima Valley Museum and the Yakima Electric Railway Museum cover local history, and the Capitol Theatre in Yakima is a place to catch a performance. For time outdoors, Yakima Sportsman State Park is also a short drive away. Those willing to go a bit farther can reach Fort Simcoe or the Tieton River.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Moxee’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Yakima County and the Yakima, WA metro.
