Buena (/bjuːˈɛnə/)[2] is an unincorporated community in Yakima County, Washington, with a 2020 census population of 1048.[3] In the 2010 census, the population was 990, and the community was not recognized in the 2000 census figures. Buena is 3.5 miles (5.6 km) north of Toppenish. Buena has a post office with ZIP code 98921.[4]

The settlement was originally named Springdale for a nearby spring, but its name was changed to Jonathan in 1918 to avoid conflicting with an existing Springdale when a post office was created. The Northern Pacific Railway constructed a siding through Jonathan in 1919 and named it Buena (Spanish for "good") with an Anglicized pronunciation.[5]
