ABOUT KENNEWICK….

Kennewick has its roots in farming. This continues today with numerous apple and cherry orchards as well as the many vineyards that dot the area. In 1804 Lewis and Clark passed through this region on their way to the Pacific Ocean. There is both a park and an interpretive center where they camped at the confluence of the Snake and Columbia Rivers. One hundred years later in 1904 Kennewick became incorporated as an official city. As the years went by other industries came into the area with Hanford coming on board during World War II. With population currently hovering around 80,000 and a solid job market Kennewick continues to be well positioned for the future.

Growth does not mean a loss of community. With over 27 public parks and other facilities with activities for every age one will find much to choose from.
