Ellie Strosahl

Direc­tor of Operations

Our team at The Sea­sons is led by Direc­tor of Oper­a­tions, Ellie Strosahl. As the daugh­ter of one of the founders, Ellie has had a his­tory with the non-profit since its incep­tion. Since grad­u­at­ing in 2006 from The Ever­green State Col­lege, Ellie has been ded­i­cat­ing the bet­ter part of her days to see that the Sea­sons runs smoothly.  From putting up posters to writ­ing bud­gets to book­ing shows, to tear­ing tick­ets, she has worked in every facet of the orga­ni­za­tion and loves pre­sent­ing events that enrich the Yakima Community.

Nick Orlando

Book­ing Agent & Front of House Man­ager

Nicks duties include facil­i­tat­ing the bands with their spe­cial­ized needs before appear­ances, book­ing per­for­mances, man­ag­ing beer and wine sales as well as order­ing, and act­ing as House Man­ager when nec­es­sary.
Before start­ing with The Sea­sons, Nick had an exten­sive his­tory in the food and bev­er­age hos­pi­tal­ity indus­try.  He has worked in nearly every rep­utable restau­rant in town, as well as restau­rants out of state and out of coun­try.
After nearly grad­u­at­ing with an Envi­ron­men­tal Sci­ence degree from West­ern Wash­ing­ton Uni­ver­sity, Nick decided to take the high road and move to Mex­ico for four months to learn how to surf and be a beach bum.  This choice led to many other trav­els includ­ing two six week explo­rations of the east coast, a two week excur­sion to Costa Rica, and a month long expe­ri­ence at the Win­ter Olympics 2010 in Van­cou­ver, B.C..  Now full of sto­ries, Nick has become part of the team sup­port­ing great music in the val­ley and the devel­op­ment of Down­town Yakima.  Being born in Yakima, Nick takes a seri­ous pride in the pro­mo­tion of this valley.
