Kennewick: Benton County's Largest City
Kennewick sits on the south bank of the Columbia River in southeastern Washington. With a population of approximately 85,000, it is the largest of the three Tri-Cities and the seat of Benton County. The Kennewick Man, a roughly 9,000-year-old human skeleton discovered along the Columbia shoreline in 1996, became one of the most studied and legally contested archaeological finds in North America before being reburied by tribal representatives in 2017.
Columbia Park, a four-mile stretch of riverfront parkland, runs between Kennewick and Richland along the Columbia River. The park hosts the annual Columbia Cup hydroplane races each summer, drawing large crowds to the river between the Blue Bridge and the cable bridge. The Columbia Center mall off Highway 395 serves as the primary retail hub for the tri-county region.
The Hanford cleanup operation, headquartered across the river in Richland, drives a substantial portion of the Kennewick economy through commuting workers and service-sector businesses. Wine grape production in the surrounding Red Mountain AVA has grown into a recognized regional industry, with vineyards west of the city anchoring the Benton County portion of Washington wine country.
