Best hikes out of Yakima?

My teenager and I will be in Yakima mid June and have a day to find something to do. We were initially planning on heading to Rainier, but we've already been there before and are hoping to find something a bit closer and/or less committing.

Rant: My 2020 Highlander needs to chill tf out

I had a 2005 highlander that I put 300k miles on. I loved that car. We'd done a lot together. Engine and transmission were still going strong, but it needed thousands in labor - engine mounts, control arms, muffler, etc... - to keep it on the road. Hadn't had a working AC or stereo for over 5 years. So I figured it was time, and I bought a 2020 Highlander to replace it.

This car has emotional damage. It just beeps constantly. When I park in the driveway it freaks out because there's a shrub next to it. When I park on the curb it freaks out because there's a curb next to it. When I start the car it freaks out. When I open the door it beeps to let me know the door is open. I almost backed into a pedestrian the other day because I've gotten so used to false alarms I'm starting to ignore them altogether.

And don't get me started on AirPlay. Is it so difficult to understand that maybe I don't want music playing 24/7 but I would still like to hear phone notifications? I feel like the people who design this stuff don't actually use it every day.
