How Sunnyside Is A Nice Place For Those Looking For Quiet Living 1.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 16, 2018) Sunnyside, WA is a small agricultural-based town located outside of Yakima.

I think anyone planning on living in Sunnyside should know that there really isn't a lot to see and do in Sunnyside. It is a very quiet community and really the only main shopping place is the local Walmart.
