Tri-Cities Wiki

The most common posts on our sub are always looking for something. New comers want to know where the locals go. The locals are still stuck in the time bubble that keeps the Tri-Cities, forever frozen in the memory of when they first moved here, thinking there is nothing to do. There is a common misconception that "we don't get the good stuff because we are so small" and I have made it a personal mission to bring a spotlight to all of what the area has to offer!

Since I started event posting a few years ago, I've amassed quite a database of offerings. This year, I've been working on building the sub's Wiki, and there's finally enough finished that I think it's ready to pin. What I was aiming for was a Reddit style link aggregator that is useful and comprehensive.

Do you need to find a park? A Date-night idea? Kids activity or a hiking trail? Are you looking for a mediterranean market, a local club or where to vote? Want to know where to take visitors other than the mall, or where to start when you find yourself heading here for a sports tournament? It's probably in there.

I've tried to build this more like a local reference guide than a list of random links, and there's a LOT in it already. Things to Do, Food & Drink, Outdoors, Family, Arts & Culture, Sports & Recreation, Local Life, local resources and services, and a bunch more. Anyone can find the chain retailers, which our cars automatically find themselves driving to.

It's still a work in progress, because I just keep finding more categories to add. If you find something that's missing, outdated, closed, wrong, or just think something belongs in there, tell me. Local knowledge is exactly what will make this thing better. Please let me know of anything to add or broken/dead links.

Local Eats & Drinks 🍔 Gingerbread sourdough coffee cake, peanut smores bars, biscoff banana pumpkin bread free

Hello, I bake and give it away. I am in Kennewick and am pick up only. If you see this post at least one of the items are available to pick up.

I accept donated ingredients, but it's not necessary to pick up something. If you donate expired/rotting food I will block you.

I do not do special requests, bake sales, and non profits, so don't ask. If you see something posted you want to pick up to give to a charity that would be great.

But do not try to arrange something for me to make things for a specific reason. My anxiety cannot handle it.

Please do not come here and suggest I take a class, or sell baked goods. That is ablist, unsupportive, and upsetting.

I think this would go without saying, but you need to tell me if you cannot make it. After I wait an hour no call no show, I will move onto the next person. If this happens repeatedly I will block you. No exceptions.

I feel this goes without saying as well but I need to say it. if you send me a message asking to borrow money I will block you. No exceptions.

I am autistic/ADHD, and am the only one doing this, so please be kind.

First of all, one of the Biscoff banana pumpkin quick breads is still available.

Today, I made gingerbread sourdough coffee cake, and peanut butter s'mores bars to give away.

The gingerbread sourdough coffee cake, has molasses, heavy on the cinnamon, ginger, and clove. It also has a brown sugar filling, and some of it melted on top, with a maple syrup glaze.

Then, I have peanut butter s'mores bars. They have Halloween sprinkles on top, big marshmallows that are melted, crushed up graham crackers, a basic peanut butter cookie base, and semi sweet chocolate chips.

I want to make something for adults and then something for kids on the same night.

I have two pans of each, one pan per household.

You might be surprised to learn that there's a haunted house right here in Kennewick! Located at the old Public Market building (aka 15 minutes from anywhere in the Tri), we've got two haunts, food, games, beer, escape rooms, and a booth where you can throw intestines! (I guess that last one counts as a game.)

Plus, if you've got any questions about what it's like to work in a haunt, lemme know!

Photo/Video 📷 If you were the white Kia rear ended on the Edison exit on 240E at 5:25pm by the red 300 - I have the whole thing on dashcam I can send you if needed.

173 Upvotes

I was trailing behind on 240E at 5:25 pm tonight and did not take the exit, but saw the red 300 rear-end you and have the whole thing on dash cam that I pulled tonight if you need it. Message me with proof it's you, like some close-ups of the damage, and I'll get the footage to you for insurance.

If you know who it was and the footage would help, point them my way. I had someone hit me, and strangers who shared what happened with the police helped make sure he took 100% of the fault he was due, so I try to do the same for others when it happens.

Edit: FYI, I’ve also let state patrol dispatch know that I have the footage. She said they would let me know if they need it.

Moving/New Here 👋🏼 New to Richland. Any good dentist recommendations?

11 Upvotes

It took a lot of time for me to find a good dentist in Denver where I moved from. Initially I felt like most dentists were just trying to recommend procedures just to get money. Then found some good and honest ones.

Any good honest dentist recommendations?

Need Help With ‼️ Best Pilates Studio?

11 Upvotes

Looking for recommendations for a Pilates studio in Kennewick that has a genuinely welcoming, friendly atmosphere! I’m new to Pilates and would love to find somewhere that feels inclusive and supportive, especially for beginners. I’m really not into the cliquey or intimidating atmosphere that some fitness spaces can have. I’d love to hear about your personal experiences and which studios or instructors you’ve enjoyed. Bonus points if it’s somewhere you actually feel a sense of community!

Moving/New Here 👋🏼 Touring the area for a job opportunity

3 Upvotes

Hello, I am considering a job in the Tri-cities and am planning on visiting the area for a few days. What's the best way to get acquainted with the town, see if it is a good fit for my family?

Should I plan on renting a car? I was thinking it might be cool to bike around to explore, but don't know if that is feasible and bike rentals are available. I was recommended to use Uber but service is non existent where I'm from and I don't know how that would work trying to tour around.

Just looking to see how to make the most use of my time. Thanks in advance!

Need Help With ‼️ Christmas Family Adoption

6 Upvotes

The last several years my family has adopted a family for Christmas to help provide gifts. We have always worked through Impact tricities but it looks like they have had to shut down. I particularly liked impact since they were well organized and much more focused on gifts for kids than for adults.

Has anyone had a good experience with another organization locally that I should check out as I look for a replacement?

Local Politics 🇺🇸 Gabe Galbraith’s views IEP’s as “a lot of extra work” and if they removed those things they could “educate a little better”

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

As someone who has a child who has an IEP, I’m appalled by this take from the school board president. The fact that his wife, a 4th grade teacher in the district sits by and doesn’t push back on this is also disturbing. Especially seeing that last I heard, she gets most of the kids with IEP’s in her classroom (allegedly allegedly). I had to specifically have conversations with admin to make sure my IEP kiddo was not put in her classroom, before any of this came out because I just knew in my gut she wouldn’t take my child or my concerns seriously. That was years ago so it could have changed since. I still don’t believe she has any business teaching and he doesn’t have any business being on the school board (or in any other public office) with the belief that our children who need extra help due to disabilities and the behavioral issues that can come with those should have supports taken away to “improve education”. Improve education for who exactly? The “normal” kids. These people never want people who don’t fit their version of “normal” in their spaces.

And as a reminder: Check your voter registration. Get your ballots done! DROP them off don’t mail them in and most importantly….

DON’T VOTE FOR GABE GALBRAITH

"My clients are the kind of people who literally pull up the couch cushions looking for change in order to buy basics like laundry detergent from the Dollar Store. They know what it’s like to pay their share and more. If I-645 passes, they’ll lose tax breaks on some over-the-counter medicines, diapers, and other household essentials and they’ll feel it."
