The Yakima Interurban Lines Association is a non-profit organization based in Yakima, Washington. The organization is focused on preserving the history of the Yakima Valley interurban railway system and its impact on the region. The interurban railway system operated in Yakima from 1912 to 1932, connecting the cities of Yakima, Selah, and Wapato to each other and to other parts of the state.

The Yakima Interurban Lines Association was founded in 1985 by a group of local history enthusiasts who wanted to ensure that the legacy of the interurban railway system was not forgotten. The organization is run entirely by volunteers and is funded through donations, grants, and membership fees.

The association operates a museum located in the historic Yakima Electric Railway Depot, which was built in 1910 and served as the headquarters for the interurban railway system. The museum features exhibits on the history of the interurban railway system, including photographs, artifacts, and displays of vintage railway equipment.

In addition to the museum, the Yakima Interurban Lines Association also operates a restored interurban railcar, which is used for special events and educational programs. The organization also offers guided tours of the museum and the historic railway district, as well as lectures and presentations on the history of the interurban railway system.
