I recently wrote up this article from a glorified stub into what it is now. It's generally culled from my experiences living in the Tri-Cities for 17 years, as well some Google searches, quick online research and a class in Washington History from my freshman year of high school. Any additions, fact-checking/correcting, clarification, etc. would be greatly beneficial to this article. Of course, the biggest need is ADDING PICTURES, which is definitely not my specialty. Any takers? --Matt Yeager 07:56, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

Kennewick is from 1904 and Richland is from 1910.

[edit] About broadcast TV stations

I don't want to sound crude, but it isn't really smart to include a Seattle broadcast station in the Tri-Cities media section. KCTS is a SEATTLE station, not TRI-CITIES! The Tri-Cities only gets KCTS through Charter Cable and not over-the-air.

If you want to list the over-the-air stations, it should be:

I don't really now what the Spanish and religious stations are. If there's someone who does know, please put it up. Elwin Blaine Coldiron 16:00, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Appeareances in popular culture/books

Did you know that there is a whole series of fantasy books set in the Tri-Cities? It is the "Mercy Thompson series" by Patricia Briggs, published by Ace Books. Until now it is composed of three titles, "Moon Called", "Blood Bound" and "Iron Kissed", and others are planned. "Iron Kissed" is a #1 New York Times bestseller. The main character lives in Finley. I lack the knowledge to add a section in the Tri-cities article, so I add this remark so maybe others can do it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.103.117.254 (talk) 14:08, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] About broadcast TV stations

I deleted KCTS off of there. You guys on the east may get it through cable, but its broadcast from the Seattle area. Totally different markets. I didn't add the other channel 9, because its a Walla Walla station. Æric 04 Feb 2007 —Preceding comment was added at 03:39, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
