KEY Figure 8 illustrates the apple production intensity for Yakima Valley on the TRS level. On the map the highways in red are the most commonly used highways during the transportation of Washington State apples.

Most commonly used routes for transportation Yakima Valley apples to the final destinations are US 12, US 97, I-90, US 2, I-82, I-182 and SR124. Table 7 shows the aggregate number truck loads on each highway during the transportation of Yakima Valley apples to their final destinations. The total value in the bottom row of each table represents the total unique truck trips for each year. Given that many of truck trip routes are common to several different highways, summation of trucks on all highways results in exceeding the total unique truck trips due to the fact that each truck trip is not unique to one and only one highway.

  • Production Area Map

    The shares of the production shipped from the Lower Basin, Skagit Valley and Upper Basin to their final destinations are provided in Table 9, and are geographically presented for each region in Figures 6, 7 and 8. Forty-one percent of the potato shipments in the Skagit Valley are sent to California. Forty-six percent of the shipments in the Lower Basin go to the States west and east of Mississippi, whereas thirty-four percent of shipments from the Upper Basin go to Idaho. Among the main production regions, Upper Basin is the sole provider of fresh potatoes and potato products to Idaho.

  • Source: 2007 Potato Survey

    The most commonly used routes for shippers from Lower Basin are I-90, I-82, I-5 and 395; from Skagit Valley they are I-5, I-90, I-80 and 405; from Upper Basin they are I-82, I-84, I-90, I-5, Hwy 17 and 395 (Table 10). These routes reflect the flow of potatoes to markets as discussed above.

These estimates cover logging, farm-based truck shipments, truck imports from Canada and Mexico, rail imports from Canada and Mexico, air cargo imports and exports, water imports and exports, and pipeline crude and petroleum products shipments. The estimates exclude non-commercial freight shipments such as government shipments and municipal solid waste.
