Who they are
You would be joining Yakima Memorial Hospital, a 226-bed not-for-profit community hospital on Tieton Drive that has served the Yakima Valley since 1950. The campus keeps the ER and Birth Center open around the clock, and nursing postings stretch across Emergency (including off-campus Union Gap), Behavioral Health, Dialysis, Med Surg Ortho, Float Pool, cardiac, oncology, hospice, and children’s services.

More about Yakima Memorial Hospital
Pay on recent RN postings for ED, off-campus ED, and Behavioral Health sits between about $41.94 and $75.89 an hour, with some Emergency night and evening roles listing up to $20,000 in sign-on and relocation help. Schedules often run as 12-hour shifts with alternating weekends. RNs are in a union bargaining unit under an SEIU contract, and MultiCare lists an RN Residency plus tuition assistance and nursing education pathways. Yakima’s cost of living runs a bit under the national average, Washington does not tax wages at the state level, and the drive to work is short for most people. You should know labor tension has been real here—technical and other workers have struck in recent years even as RN contract terms cover pay, PTO, and a staffing committee.
Not-for-profit community hospital focused on Yakima Valley care, with a 2025 community health needs assessment naming behavioral health, access, social needs, and maternal and child health as local priorities.

The hard parts
- Recent strikes by technical and other MultiCare Yakima Memorial workers, with bargaining still in play after walkouts
- Hospital sought replacement workers for striking technical employees during a recent dispute
- BSN required or must be earned within five years of hire for many RN roles

What to weigh
Technical and other MultiCare Yakima Memorial workers have walked out in recent strikes, with bargaining continuing after the lines came down and the hospital at one point seeking replacement technical staff.
