I actually live in the tri-cities and I’ve lived here my whole life! Sad fact about the Mizu sushi place she showed: it closed down- it was a great eating place but it had to end sadly :(
I miss living near the tri cities :/ used to leave in Plymouth and would go to tri cities frequently. Loved the place and I wanna go back to visit some day
Look out for the critters. I saw a skunk and a racoon gingerly walking side by side on a sidewalk early one morning. I think they were returning from a date. That was awesome.
Thinking about relocating to the Tri-Cities? I'd love to tell you all about the area, the different cities and towns, and show you the homes that are available in your price range. Drop me a note anytime!
I love kennewick. It's a great place to raise a family. Lots to do in the summer and the fall is really pretty. We've gotten more snow in the winters but I love it. I just stay inside where its warm and go out when I want to shop. Although when there is fresh snow a drive down Columbia park is I hate to say this but picturesque, something out of a bob ross painting. Ya you wouldn't like it here. nope
Tri cities is the next boomtown area!! I been thinking about moving there, plus i do like that it's closer to other major cities and closer to the oregon and Washington coast.
What is the crime rate like, I’m going into law enforcement and this seems like a wonderful place to live but I don’t wanna be somewhere with an insane amount of shootings or drugs
Sure when I pass my NCLEX-RN, Tricities and Spokane are on my list. My family lives in Spokane. Also a nice place. Love the evergreen state, and i love that it has four seasons. ❤ With the climate change that's been happening, heat is unbearable, tornadoes, flooding, no way i would live in the southern states, CA, and FL. Not a good move to invest a property. Years will come and this thing is for sure. People and should seriously think about it.
This will depend some on when you visit, but if you're here in the summer time, I suggest going to all there farmer's markets because the fresh produce is spectacular. You could paddleboard on the Columbia, or take a cruise. Definitely visit the wineries. Even if you don't like wine, the views and the relaxation is top notch. If you can tour the Hanford Reactor, you should do that. Definitely go to the Hanford Reach Museum. I'd stay near Columbia Pt., because then you're generally centrally located.
Hey there, love the video! I’m moving to Washington next year right before winter but I still haven’t decided what part. I hate snow and don’t like many rainy days. I’m moving from MD because the humidity here is terrible and MD just isn’t the place for me. What place would you recommend in WA? My friend suggested Spokane but I saw that snow rank is on 44.9 💀 I really didn’t like when I saw that rank, city is beautiful but I can’t stand long snow days. Is Richland a place you would suggest? Or what would places would have the best weather with the least rain and snow days. Thank you so much 🙏
Thanks, Valeria! If you're not a fan of snow or rain, then we're your spot! All of the Tri-Cities is relatively dry overall and we have pretty mild winters. Shoot me a message at cari@carimcgee.com and we can go over some specifics!
Hey guess what The base fee for residential water utilities in Kennewick, Washington is $25.13 as of 2020 The only reason I know this is because I saw it in the video "20 minutes of useless information"
All the complainers don't know how good they have it lol. I'm feeling ready to abandon inflated Seattle area real estate prices and mismanaged local government for some peace and freedom in tri cities.
Since your a realtor im coming up to work an outage at the Columbia nuclear plant in May need a place for a month or so lol any leads would be nice thanks I live in alabama got a long drive ahead of me 😆
Hi, Sergio! We've helped lots of people from other states move here. We can do a lot of work for you "on the ground". It's helpful if you can visit at least once during the process, but we've sold more than one house to a client who never set foot in it until after they had bought it! Let me know if you'd like more info!
Hi, Jaylen! Part of what's unique here is that every city is going to have different approaches to Airbnbs. I know friends with Airbnbs in Richland and West Richland,.Currently there's nothing I've heard of that prevents or limits them in those cities. You're going to want to check with whichever city you want to buy in.
@@dan-h2g Good question. I hear horror stories about dirty AirBnB’s. Seems people don’t want to do the work. But I’d rather do this work for my family’s personal freedom than work construction all my life haha.
How’s the crime as of 2022?? I am thinking of moving back to the tri cities as I used to live in Kennewick like 10 years ago but this time I really want to know how’s the crime rating as people are going crazier now days it is very dangerous mostly everywhere specially in the big cities. By the way I currently live near Sacramento California but I love Tri cities in Washington and within God will we want to live there again
What is the zoning code like? Is it permissive? I’d really like to builds mixed use building and start a business, supplementing my income with rent from the apartments above. Is this allowed?
@@carimcgeeteam thanks for the speedy reply I will absolutely follow up. I’ve got some family in Pasco, I’m in Los Angeles right now and I’ve noticed a lot of migration from here to pasco in recent years.
@@carimcgeeteam Maybe so, but I'm sure you wouldn't want to misrepresent this to a client or anything. I would hope accuracy is more important than convenience.
For Badger and Candy Mountains, I would keep a close eye on them, and go early in the morning, before the snakes are likely to be on the move. Badger is a hike many kids would need to work up to, but Candy is easier.
Lots of snakes and rattle snakes, but hood thing God gave them rattlers haha. As long as you watch the trail ahead and dont go into weeds or foliage and keep an eye on kids and dog, there shouldnt be any issues.
Yes, in fact lots of people are moving here, especially now. It's a fact that when you are surrounded by something every day, you don't realize how good it is until it's not around any more. Like when you hurt your pinky finger and you suddenly learn how often you used your pinky finger!
I was born in Richland,Wa and raised in Idaho :) I enjoy tri cites,because they have a good transportation system. The bus drivers are super nice.If you need help with directions you just call the Three Rivers Transit Center or ask a bus driver for help.:)
@@carimcgeeteam When I was growing up in Walla Walla, I enjoyed going to Tri Cities because it had the Big Mall and the River. It also seemed much more youth oriented than Walla Walla. Now we are considering it as a place to retire. But that's a little ways off.
@@mapleva it's interesting how perspectives change, isn't it? Thank you for sharing your thoughts about going to the Tri-Cities as a kid. I used to work at the "Big Mall" and we knew we were a huge draw for people from WA, and Oregon, too.
Grew up in Richland, the things I moved away for were the rolling roadblocks of two cars going 15 mph under the speed limit. The fact that most everybody is republican and only cares about yourselves and your churches just makes me sick of that place.
Don't do it people we are to full as is I was born in this town in 99. We had been full then to many people moving in and on top that you got the ghettos and the hoods in corners east downtown and the westside of Kennewick. Don't forget you got your Pasco gang members who linger around the old parts of Pasco. WE ARE TO DAMN FULL And don't forget the tons of homeless and tweakers aka heavy drug addicts hanging on every other corner near highway 395 where all the major fast food businesses are. Hanging in an out of motel 6s or Econolodge. Don't be fooled by relastate trying to sell you a home and then your stuck. There is better more beautiful places then this I rather move to Montana And goodbye Tri-shitties
Bringing back memories of the thunder boats and spudnut shop.

Plymouth? Wouldn't really boast about that.
As someone who lives in Kennewick Washington I could say these are very good things to know for people moving here
Thanks for the positive comment!
I used to live here it was simple there I live Europe now
lived in pasco since i was born, it’s been great place to grow up!
I love showing homes in Pasco! My clients who buy there enjoy it, too.
Look out for the critters. I saw a skunk and a racoon gingerly walking side by side on a sidewalk early one morning. I think they were returning from a date. That was awesome.
I left tri-cities 7 months ago and back in China, I miss this place and people here
You should come back lol 我想要一些讲中文的朋友们 lol

Will you go along to get along with the corruption? If so, you will be fine. But you will lose your soul in the process.

Forgot to mention the wind, the wind and the wind.
And don't forget about even more wind.
I live near road 68 in west pasco
Love your channel 👍
Bring alot of tie down straps. This is the most windy place I have ever lived.
I left the Puget Sound area for the Tri-Cities in Dec of 2015 and have zero interest in leaving any time soon.
We're glad you like it here!

Which park is shown in the video with all the nice playground equipment?
That's the Playground of Dreams which is in Columbia Park. I used to take my oldest there all the time when he was a toddler.

Hi Cari didn't you used to work at the Kennewick Fred Meyer a few years ago?
HI! I did not. I shopped at the Richland one pretty regularly about ten years ago because I loved their crullers so much! LOL
Too much wind, and very cold.
There is a lot of wind, but it is the warmest place in the Pacific Northwest
Richland is probably the most calm of them
If you think that come check out out B-Town(Burbank)
I like Pasco more tho lol
Hows the terrain there is it similar to Montana Or Spokane with lot of mountains?
Since your a realtor im coming up to work an outage at the Columbia nuclear plant in May need a place for a month or so lol any leads would be nice thanks I live in alabama got a long drive ahead of me 😆

Finley and Burbank are not cities nor towns. They're census-designated places, but are not incorporated municipalities.
True. Our MLS has them as city fields for searching purposes, though, so it's easiest to refer to them that way.

What about venomous snakes? Can the kids and dogs run around on the trails without getting murdered by a snake? :)
For Badger and Candy Mountains, I would keep a close eye on them, and go early in the morning, before the snakes are likely to be on the move. Badger is a hike many kids would need to work up to, but Candy is easier.
Lots of snakes and rattle snakes, but hood thing God gave them rattlers haha. As long as you watch the trail ahead and dont go into weeds or foliage and keep an eye on kids and dog, there shouldnt be any issues.
You lack common sense
Never once had a close call, seen plenty but they don't want to mess with you anymore than you want to mess with them.
@muttering matt they would definitely bite if a dog sniffed them or a kid stepped on them. I will stay in western Washington rattlesnake free zone.

Aidan B defenitely!! Richland is probably not that bad but Pasco 🤭🥴😵
@@liliyao4835 Pasco just has a bad rep bc of gang problems in the 90s but it's definitely better than Kennewick now
The Tri-Cities is more like 5 cities since we have them and it’s the hottest place in the Pacific Northwest because it’s an overpopulated desert.
