About the Community
Richland is one of the three cities that make up Washington's Tri-Cities metro — along with Kennewick and Pasco — situated in the sunny high desert of southeast Washington at the confluence of the Columbia, Snake, and Yakima rivers. The region offers an exceptional quality of life: over 300 days of sunshine annually, world-class wine country in the surrounding Columbia Valley, abundant water recreation, and a cost of living well below Seattle or Portland. Families are drawn to the area's highly regarded public schools, safe neighborhoods, and easy access to outdoor recreation including hiking, cycling, and watersports — all within a mid-sized, rapidly growing community that retains a genuine small-city feel.
