SUCCESSFUL RESCUE
On 03/21/2026 at approximately 2:45pm, Yakima Police Officers were called to the report of a dog trapped in the canal that runs beneath the 5900 block of Summitivew Avenue. The dog was lethargic in the running water and would not move when officers and community members called for it. Summitview Avenue acts as a bridge over the canal, so there was no way to access the animal aside from getting into the water (which was 3-4 feet deep).
Officer April Rosales sprang into action and waded into the canal to rescue the dog that was shivering and hypothermic. The doggo š¶ has made a swift recovery and Officers are working on reuniting it with its owners!

Seems I seen her on 1st st by the old subway parking lot by the railroad tracks earlier today and her hair was shorter
Check around 5th Ave and I St. I am pretty sure I saw her but her hair was a little shorter than in this picture.
She's always hanging out by Ali's one stop I caught her trying to steal cookies last week
SOS - Missing Persons has shared this missing persons post in the hopes that it may help to find Lyndsi.
I seen her at Ali's one stop on adams. She frequents there.
Just an educated guess, but it sounds like she doesn't want to be "found"
She's fine

Well she needs to be careful because there's a lot of weirdos out there last place I seen her was in jail and to tell you the truth I seen some things on internet or whatever it's called unbearable things stay woke
Jesus protect her.
If you all say she is fine and someone says they have seen her report it. Don't just come on here and say she is fine. She is someone's daughter, niece, cousin, friend obviously someone cares enough to report her because there is ple ty of people that dont have someone thst caste and they go missing and are never even worried about. So straight up report it. We need to stop the missing children and adults and thst is only going to happen with people paying attention and actively communicating!!!
Yakima Police Department, is there a case number associated with this? How old is she? Height and weight?
There was a girl over by David in the park that looked like he. Not 100 but she looked like her I think.
Prayers pleaseš

TRAFFIC TUESDAY - ST. PATRICKāS DAY
Hello, everyone, Officer Wilske here for Traffic Tip Tuesday. With today being St. Patrickās Day, I want to bring you a special message. We know there will be celebrations, good food, and maybe a few drinks. But remember, luck wonāt get you home safe tonight, but smart choices will! If youāre drinking, plan ahead. Use a rideshare, call a friend or have a designated driver. Tonight we are extra focused on keeping your roadways safe and taking impaired drivers off the road.
As a reminder, if you are driving and you notice a vehicle driving erratically, and you believe they are impaired, please call 911 and report it. Over the weekend we received a call from a concerned citizen reporting a vehicle that was driving erratically. When officers located the erratic driver, the vehicle fled and collided with a power pole. It may come as a surprise, but the driver turned out to be driving under the influence. We canāt be everywhere, so if you see somethingā¦ say something!

Amazing! Glad you both are safe!
Why don't all canals have rescue ramps along the sides every 100 yards or so to give both people and animals a chance to survive? š¤ They do it in other countries. Just saying.
Amazing work and dedication!
Ty. great job
