A development that was once in question, thanks to the recession of 2008, is now flourishing in Zillah.

Zillah Lakes Inn is part of that development, and Gov. Jay Inslee was in the Yakima Valley to visit the establishment Wednesday, July 25, to learn about its solar installation project.

His organization funded $50,000 for the Inn’s project, he said.
