It may not be the Palm Springs of Washington.
But it's Home.
With a semi-arid climate, you can enjoy outdoor activities year-round, from hiking to wine tasting at local vineyards.
What makes Tri-Cities, Washington a great place to call home? This area has a strong economy, with jobs in research and development, healthcare, agriculture, and education. And it's home to the Hanford site which is the only operating nuclear power plant in the Northwest. (And no. For the record we do not glow in the dark.)
You’ll find a welcoming community here that has plenty of annual events and festivals throughout the year. Plus, it doesn't get any better than true farm-to-table where our local farmers work tirelessly to provide fresh produce, and meat. All hand picked, raised and grown in our own backyard. Whether you're looking for family-friendly neighborhoods or investment opportunities, Tri-Cities may offer a balanced lifestyle you've been looking for.

While we’re still in the early stages of relocating from Alaska to Washington, Kim has already been an absolute treasure — a wealth of knowledge and a comforting presence. She is friendly, funny, and makes fabulous connections. She’s eased our worries and answered all our questions, explaining everything in an easy-to-understand way and ensuring we have all the details we need to make informed decisions.
When we met her on a visit to the area, we had a truly great experience. She treated us to a delicious drink at a cute local spot and showed us several properties and neighborhoods that would be a great fit for our family. She even brought us goodies and sent a gift card for another local business to check out while we were in town.
We’re looking forward to completing this process with her, confident that it will go as smoothly as possible — we fully trust our future in her hands. I’m so glad I said “Hey, Kim!”
