YAKIMA VALOR PROJECT On October 21st, 2025, a memorandum of understanding was signed between Jonathan Wainwright Veteran’s Center (Walla Walla), Yakima County Superior Court, and the City of Yakima regarding the potential implementation of a Veteran’s Therapeutic Court for Yakima County. The city of Yakima is committed to honoring those who have honorably served our Country and understand that reintegration back into civilian life can be difficult for some after serving. Having a therapeutic option for those who would benefit from restorative justice, reduces stress on the congested criminal justice system and restores the individual to a stable place in our community. We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with these organizations and look forward to being a community that honors those who have protected our freedom.

Outstanding news. This has been talked about for years and I’m so happy to see it finally getting started. Therapeutic courts save lives and change outcomes.

I'm all for veterans being taken care of in a big way once they are out of service, they deserve our respect and help, if needed. Will you further explain the details?

I’m glad someone is trying to help saying they can NEVER get into their appointments at the VA clinic

I applaud this endeavor and stand 100% behind Yakima Valor! Long time coming . Success for veterans therapeutic courts can be seen in Spokane, and the Tri Cities. Notable support also comes from federal legislators, state legislators and the former Secretary of Defense. 🇺🇸

So does this mean no fines or jail time? Deferred sentences? Mandatory therapy? A few questions left unanswered.

Yeah let's fix the VA system though. It's insane how long it takes to get care. The doctors are forever changing. They don't even provide good health care advice. If I call to make a simple appointment for my husband, I know it's going to be like an hour long call because the wait time. I have to talk to some tella health person and not the actual people in the clinic here. It's so broke and stupid it's hardly worth it to our men and women who served this country.

I’m glad they are finally doing something some of these veterans come home broken and we should be doing better by them

I don't mean to sound disrespectful. Thank you to all the service people. The courts don't seem to be able to handle what they have now. Juvenile court is a joke. Is walla walla giving money for extra personnel? And I don't mean more bureaucrats
