About this website...
I'm Jim McIntyre and author of Tri-Cities WA Guide. I first published this website in December 2007 to help organize my bookmarks as a result of my Internet dumpster diving while researching my interests about the Tri-Cities Washington area. This guide is my personal project (unpaid hobby) and is provided as a community benefit.
This guide focuses primarily on the non-profit/non-commercial organizations that enable us to enjoy many activities and things to do in this region. In addition, this guide covers more than just the Tri-Cities - it provides information for Yakima, Moses Lake, Walla Walla, Pendleton and other communities within an hour or so drive from the Tri-Cities.
Most of the visitors to this website are from the Tri-Cities and Seattle regions. Volunteer opportunites, social clubs & groups, "nightlife" music, attractions, wineries, performing arts, farmers' markets, and outdoor activities have always been popular topics of interest.
Note: lodging, dining, and shopping related experiences are not emphasized on this website...
