Get Richland’s 2009 Annual Report

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

CREHST Museum: Fun for All

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

Okay, believe it or not, after almost 15 years of living in the Tri-Cities, I’ve finally visited the CREHST Museum in Richland. Yep, first time.

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

I know, I had to double check I wasn’t reading about something happening on the west side of the state. But it’s true! A new store has opened in Richland and they sell nothing but CHEESE!
