West Richland: Benton County and the Tri-Cities
West Richland sits in Benton County in southeastern Washington, forming part of the Tri-Cities metropolitan area with Richland, Kennewick, and Pasco. The city grew from agricultural and residential land west of the Yakima River as the larger Tri-Cities area expanded. West Richland incorporated in 1955. Its population is approximately 17,000.
The Tri-Cities region grew explosively during World War II and the early Cold War around the Hanford Site, where plutonium for the first nuclear weapons was produced. Hanford is located north of Richland across the Columbia River. Decommissioning and environmental cleanup at the site has been ongoing since the 1990s under the U.S. Department of Energy, and Hanford-related employment remains a significant economic driver in the region.
West Richland itself has a less industrial character than the other Tri-Cities, with more residential development and agricultural parcels. The Horn Rapids Golf Course and surrounding residential community occupy the northern part of the city. The Yakima River forms the southern and western boundary of much of the city, and the Horn Rapids Dam on the river is a historic irrigation diversion structure.
Wine grape production and wineries have expanded in the area over the past two decades as part of the broader Columbia Valley American Viticultural Area. The Richland School District serves public schools in most of West Richland. Commuters typically travel east to Richland or south to Kennewick.
