Rich culture and world renowned geography. - 2/21/2022
Born here and lived most of my 48 years here. If people haven't gotten out and explored the versatility of this place to entertain a population at my levels and options one might think this place to be s bit dull and lacking. But, with the forests an hour away, the rivers minutes away and a wide variety of recreation options, the activities are limitless. A historic geography rooted in a rich Native American culture, one of the greatest wine industries in the nation and an iconic power grid unique to its kind, this place offers more than just meets the eye by

Smoky air, hot, no greenery, bad food - 9/8/2021
I have lived here a few years and it’s the worst place I’ve ever been. The “ nice weather” people refer to is 100 degree hot can’t even stand outside at 9am without sweating in the summer, Oh and almost all summer long there are fires everywhere (can’t even go outside without feeling sick. You are in a basin (aka dust whole) so everything and everything gets blown in. Not many good places to eat and all ethnic food is overpriced and not very good. Not to mention there are not many trees, but atleast they got the tumbleweeds going on??. Oh and almost nothing in east pasco/kennewick is in english, feels like you are in mexico. Get ready for people to discriminate against you if you aren’t mexican and or can’t speak spanish.

Good place to live - 6/6/2021
I’ve lived here for 30 years. Very good place to live. Three major rivers meet here. The Columbia, Snake and Yakima rivers. So if you like fishing or boating it’s a great place for that. There’s a lot of good medical facilities here too. The traffic is not very congested and offers good shopping here as well. I wish there was a better restaurant selections. Lots of chain restaurants and not enough of independent restaurants. The weather is pretty good here. The summers are fairly hot and cool winters. Politically it’s on the conservative side although personally I am not. Lots of large parks along the Columbia River. Family friendly environment. The area could use a nice water park. It’s in the center of wine country. The area just keeps growing and real estate has risen sharply lately. It’s a couple hours to the west or east to go to the forest as Kennewick is in the most arid place in the state. All in all it’s a great place to live.

Real Potential to Prosper - 6/28/2019
I visited Kennewick about 2 weeks ago. It was an adventure I won't be forgetting anytime soon. This place seriously has a lot of potential to be worth the time to check out. This is the kind of location with a real community to it. Very welcoming of visitors, tourists and prospective future buyers. A really great melting pot for young people. Obviously this is the kind of place you can go out and meet new people and develop the proper social skills necessary to be successful. Compared to most places in Washington, they easily pale in comparison to Kennewick. I say this being somebody who has been all over the world. Kennewick is definitely up there for upcoming future potential to live in and to really integrate with a good community worth the time of the

Nice but limited - 7/27/2018
Less hectic than larger cities, but growing. Pleasing environment and family friendly. It’s a food desert though and customer service is poor. Too many chains and not enough quality local restaurants or stores. Sadly, despite surroundings of agricultural and ranching, most foods are not sourced locally. Pitiful selection of organic and regional foods aside from farmers markets

Beautiful Place to Live - 11/7/2012
We moved from Seattle to Kennewick becuase the cost of living compared to Seattle is 30% lower. I was warned by a couple of people that the people here are more cliquish but i was sure we could get past that. I have found that they were right. It's been very hard to become part of this community as diverse as it seems. We are just in our 60's...middle age, married and faily conservative and friendly, but it has been hard to get rid of that feeling that we just don't "fit" here in spite of our lovely home which we love dearly. We are seriously considering moving away to a remote area.
Aside from that, Kennewick is a beautiful place to live and very open and great

Good place if you are working - 8/4/2011
Kennewick bases a lot of its prices on people who work at Hanford. A very high paying job site. Not everyone works there. If you are retired it is even harder. Property values have held quite high in this area,

Lovely town, lights of city, Columbia River, bridg - 4/29/2010
I like Kennewick. I moved to Kennewick from Hermiston Oregon about ten years ago, and moved to Eltopia (twenty miles north, in farm country) about two years ago. In Kennewick I love seeing the city lights, the bridges crossing the Columbia River. Kennewick has almost all the services one would want, although for some serious medical conditions requiring specialists or a University,people still drive to Spokane which is a couple of hours away. We have miles of parks and trails along the Columbia River, good fishing, and rural surrounding areas which are beautiful farmland, with many vinyards, wheat fields and potato crops. There is lots of entertainment, outdoor music, a Farmers Market across the river in Pasco, a really nice, larger shopping mall that is aging gracefully and recently on, and new communities springing up on the outskirts with their own nice, albeit smaller, malls. An older downtown area has some nice little shops and restaurants. We have music stores (a must for
