The Yakima Bears look like they might be relocating to Hillsboro, OR for the 2013 season. There have been other rumors about the team moving to the Portland area including Vancouver, WA and Milwaukee, OR, but it looks like Hillsboro is currently the front runner. It looks like the Bears aren’t going to be in Yakima much longer, so I’d try to see a game in Yakima County Stadium while you still can.

Any word on the status of the front office staff? I assume management would be given the option to relocate as well…?
I would have to think that many of them would at least be given some option to remain with the team if they were willing to go to Oregon.
