Tri-Cities Official Visitors Guide 2008 - (Page 5) Welcome Mayor of Kennewick Welcome to the Tri-Cities - Kennewick, Pasco, Richland, and West Richland Where 300 sun-filled days offer visitors a year-round outdoor paradise. Fun in the sun is a way of life in the Tri-Cities; river action abounds on the Columbia, Snake, and Yakima rivers. Recreational and sports enthusiasts will love the Tri-Cities. Visitors can enjoy one of three professional sports teams. And with everything from bicycling to bowling, hunting to fishing, and soccer to water-skiing, the recreational opportunities are endless. JIM BEAVER JoYCE oLSoN Mayor of Pasco Due in part to the area’s exceptional climate, golf is one of the Tri-Cities’ most popular sports. The area’s ten beautiful courses challenge the most experienced golfer, but can be enjoyed by the beginner as well. After savoring just one of the local premium wines, visitors will understand why the area has been rightfully called the “Heart of Washington Wine Country.” The Tri-Cities boasts more than 150 wineries within a 60-mile radius, producing some of the finest wines in the world. Not to be overlooked are the area’s unique shopping and dining facilities. Almost every item or service imaginable can be found at one or more of our stores and shopping centers. And a fascinating variety is the only way to describe the many excellent restaurants which offer fine cuisine in pleasing surroundings. After a fine dinner, enjoy an evening on the town. Listen to the symphony, dance to a live band, or take in a play; all excellent ways to pass a Tri-Cities evening. Like a fine wine, the Tri-Cities is coming of age. Not long ago, Kennewick, Pasco, Richland, and West Richland were pleasant little eastern Washington cities. Today they form a budding metropolitan area that has gained sophistication while keeping its small town charm. We are honored you have chosen to visit the Tri-Cities. Enjoy your stay!
