West Richland Chamber’s 2008 Award Winners
New Law Makes West Richland $15k Richer
Did you know? If you go to Spokane and purchase an HDTV, and have it delivered to your home in West Richland, the sales tax you pay goes to West Richland, not to Spokane. How freakin’ cool is that?!? Seems to me that for a smaller city like ours, where retail shopping opportunities are less [...]

Michelle Marcum talks about fire and flood at West Richland Golf Course
Perhaps lost in all the craziness of the flooding these last few days is the fact that the West Richland Golf Course just lost its clubhouse to fire two weeks ago. Owner Michelle Marcum spoke over the weekend with KNDU … ironically, while the course itself was under water. Here’s the KNDU report:

James has good news for some veterans among my readership… Most home buyers who were under contract by April 30 have from June 30th to September 30th to close on their home in order to get the $6,500-$8,000 federal tax credit.

- Tri-Cities Real Estate Market: June Stats (very late!) August 2, 2010Take a look at June’s stats for the Tri-Cities real estate market. You’ll see a marked uptick for real estate business that month. Remember, May showed a precipitous decline in homes under contract, because the tax credit expired April 30th.
