Kennewick/Pasco/Richland Travel Information
Kennewick, Richland, and Pasco make up the Tri-City area (pop. 160,000), near the confluence of the Yakima and Columbia Rivers in southeastern Washington. At one time the dry, arid climate of this area hosted the largest concentration of Concord grape vines in the world. Grapes are still big business here, though the city has most recently been in the spotlight for the mid-'90s discovery of a skeleton that challenged archaeological assumptions about early North Americans. Mostly a working town, Kennewick's convention facilities and numerous hotels have made it attractive for conferences and other events in this uncrowded and mostly rural part of the state. The city has few tourist attractions, but an array of city parks, golf courses, and restaurants provide services to both residents and visitors.
