I’ve heard that this is how it works – kids who pursue their Eagle Scout designation have to take on a project. A young man named Jeff Weyand is constructing a covered pavilion and two horseshoe pits just down the street at Coyote Park. He’s a freshman at Hanford High and he was able to [...]
Survey Says: Retiring, Working, and Raising Kids in West Richland
by Matt McGee on September 29, 2010 in West Richland Life
A few weeks ago I wrote about West Richland’s citywide survey that was conducted earlier this year — specifically about the survey result that shows we really love West Richland as a place to live.

No matter how you slice it, that’s a pretty amazing stat. A total of 805 [...]

by Matt McGee on July 16, 2010 in West Richland Life
On June 22nd, I sent an email to Roscoe Slade, the city’s Public Works Director, with a photo of a droopy tennis net at South Highlands Park and a question: Who do I ask about getting the net fixed/raised? Literally five minutes later, he replied that he would follow-up on getting it fixed. On July [...]
South Highlands Park Needs a New Tennis Net
by Matt McGee on July 6, 2010 in West Richland Life
We’re now a tennis-playing family. Well, a very light tennis-playing family … but we’re one nonetheless. Our daughter recently took some very basic lessons at Columbia Basin Racquet Club and she wants to keep playing, so we went out and bought a couple rackets and some tennis balls so anyone can join her on the [...]
4th of July in West Richland
by Matt McGee on July 4, 2010 in West Richland Life
There’s really no need to drive down to the river or over to Pasco to see a big fireworks display when your neighbors in West Richland are setting off stuff like this from their driveways: Seriously, I swear some folks up here on Bird Hill are running professional fireworks performances tonight. Is this legal? I [...]

- Tri-City Homes Hit Their Highest Average Sales Price in 2011 February 1, 2012What an interesting year! No federal tax credit, record-low interest rates, and a booming Tri-Cities economy combine to create an fascinating picture. Two seemingly disparate facts tell the 2011 Tri-Cities real estate story. #1 – Total sales for the year – 2,734, which is the second lowest total within the last ten years. (The lowest […]
