Kennewick - Benton County - Franklin County

The Tri-Cities region of Kennewick, Richland, and Pasco sits at the confluence of wide desert landscapes and the Columbia River, providing these communities with a mix of open spaces, riverfront trails, and steady residential growth. The landscape stretches across the valley, showcasing both long-established neighborhoods and new developments that continue to expand around them. The region grew through agriculture, science, and energy industries, and those roots still influence how people experience daily life from Pasco to Richland. There is a natural contrast between bustling commercial corridors and the quieter areas around parks and schools. Independent businesses here tend to be practical, community-oriented, and shaped by the region’s mix of longtime residents and newcomers.
