A great place to live is about more than a great job, it’s about what you can do when the workday is over.
 
From musicals and theater productions to local performances and live entertainment, the Tri-Cities offers plenty of opportunities to gather, experience the arts and enjoy a night out close to home.
 
A vibrant arts and cultural scene is part of what makes a community feel like home. It adds to our quality of life, brings people together and gives residents and visitors even more reasons to live, work and stay in the Tri-Cities. So grab a ticket, invite a friend and come applaud the talent that takes the stage right here in our community!
 
Because where we live is about more than where we work-it’s about how we live.

National Coffee Day is the perfect excuse to celebrate one of our favorite parts of the workday — local coffee shops!
 
Our team has a few favorites, but the Tri-Cities is full of great local spots to grab your morning cup, catch up with a friend, fuel your workday or simply take a moment to enjoy your community.
 
This National Coffee Day, skip the usual routine and try a local coffee shop you haven’t visited yet. You might just discover your new favorite.
 
Live here. Work here. Drink coffee here. That’s the Tri-Cities.

TRIDEC was proud to join Columbia Basin College (CBC) in celebrating the ribbon cutting for Hawks Landing Hall, CBC’s new student residence hall!
 
Investments like this do more than add beds, they help create an environment where students can learn, connect and build their future right here in the Tri-Cities. As our region continues to grow, providing students with the resources and opportunities they need to succeed is an important part of building the workforce of tomorrow.
 
Congratulations to CBC and everyone who helped bring Hawks Landing Hall to life! We’re excited to see the impact this new space will have on students and our community.

There’s something special about the first day of fall in the Tri-Cities. Crisp mornings, colorful leaves, and the return of one of our favorite seasonal traditions—pumpkin patches!

This season, get outside, support local agriculture, and discover all the fun waiting just around the corner. Because living in the Tri-Cities means having a community that celebrates every season together.
