Tri-Cities and Ellensburg Orders: Pickup, Shipping, and Timing
September 27, 2026·4 min read

Quick answer
We're based in the Yakima Valley and ship nationwide, so Tri-Cities and Ellensburg orders arrive by mail like anywhere else. If your date is tight or the order is large, pickup in the valley is usually faster than shipping — an easy drive from Richland, Kennewick, Pasco, or Ellensburg. Tell us your date and we'll recommend which is better.

Faith-rooted keepsake maker, Yakima Valley — handmaking photo magnets, buttons, and coasters for families, churches, and ministries.
Published September 27, 2026 · 4 min read
A lot of our orders come from outside Yakima County — Central Washington University families, Tri-Cities churches, and event organizers up and down the corridor. Here's how ordering works if that's you.
Shipping
Everything is made by hand in the Yakima Valley and ships nationwide, so a Tri-Cities or Ellensburg address is no different from any other. We'll confirm shipping timing in writing when your order is confirmed, so you're planning around a real date rather than a guess.
When Pickup Makes More Sense
Pickup usually wins in three situations:
- A memorial service or event within the next several days.
- A large event order where you'd rather not risk a box in transit.
- You're already driving over — Yakima sits between Ellensburg and the Tri-Cities either way.
Planning an Event Order
For graduations, church gatherings, reunions, fundraisers, and vendor booths, email us the occasion, the count, and the date. Event quantities are quoted per project, and orders of 25 or more are confirmed by email before production starts.
What to Send First
Your date, your rough count, and the photo. That's enough to get real pricing and a real timeline back — usually the same or next business day.
How a 3.5-inch photo magnet becomes part of the story
Our custom photo magnets are professionally produced as 3.5-inch round keepsakes. They are big enough to actually see the faces in the picture, but small enough to belong on the refrigerator, the filing cabinet at work, or the side of a metal lamp in grandma's bedroom.
You provide the photograph. We help you make sure the resolution, the crop, and the framing honor the moment. Most people send us a phone photo or a scan of an older print, and we walk them through the rest. The keepsake itself does the work after that — quietly, every day, for years.
Across the Yakima Valley
Families across the Yakima Valley have a way of holding tight to the photographs that matter. We hear it from grandparents in Granger, from young couples in Yakima, and from churches and ministries gathering in Union Gap. Wherever you live in the valley — from the orchard roads of Tieton to the riverfront in Prosser — a keepsake photo magnet can quietly carry your story from one chapter to the next.
How to start
Email tsocustomkeepsakes@gmail.com with a short note about the photograph you want to preserve and the moment behind it. We'll respond with simple next steps — how to send the image, a brief design questionnaire, and information about custom order options.
There is no shopping cart and no checkout. Every keepsake we make begins with a conversation, because every keepsake we make is built around a story.
