Recreation
The Columbia River provides much of the Tri-Cities’ recreational opportunities with its fishing and boating opportunities. All three cities offer a number of free boat launch sites, and the size of the river itself creates ample space.

Along the Columbia River shoreline, the Sacagawea Heritage Trail is a 22-mile recreational and educational trail that travels through parks and neighborhoods of all three cities, and across the various bridges over the river itself.

The Tri-Cities also boasts several quality golf courses can be played almost year-round due to the relatively mild climate.

Shopping and dining
Shopping and dining opportunities in the Tri-Cities have expanded in recent years primarily centered around Kennewick’s Columbia Center Mall. The area has now become a large destination for not only the three cities themselves, but also for the many smaller communities and towns located in the region.

Professional sports
The Tri-Cities are home to two professional sports teams: the Tri-Cities Fever arena football team of the af2; and the Tri-City Dust Devils, an affiliate of the Colorado Rockies in the short-season class A Northwest League baseball. In addition, the Tri-City Americans of the Western Hockey League bring top level junior hockey to the region. The Fever and Americans play at the Toyota Center in Kennewick, while the Dust Devils play in Pasco.

The Tri-Cities is also a consistent stop on the Unlimited Hydroplane circuit. Races take place each summer on the Columbia River and include a professional air show and several other community events and activities at Columbia Park in Kennewick.  Tri-Cities, Washington.  In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia.
