TRI-CITIES

(Kennewick, Pasco, Richland and West Richland)

 

 

 

Situated at the confluence of the Columbia, Snake, and Yakima Rivers in southeast Washington, the Tri-Cities is actually made up of four cities: Kennewick, Pasco, Richland, and West Richland. The area offers breathtaking parks, nostalgic downtown areas, upscale dining and retail options, and a variety of entertainment venues. Farms cover over a little more than a million acres in Benton and Franklin Counties; potatoes, wheat, apples, grapes, alfalfa, strawberries, asparagus, corn and hops are the largest producers. In addition, the Tri-Cities is located in the Heart of Washington Wine Country where over 200 wineries are located within a one-hour drive.
