Community and Lifestyle:

Known as the Heart of Washington Wine Country®, the Tri-Cities (Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland) in the southeastern corner of the state offers a sun-drenched retreat for exploration and rejuvenation.    Nestled at the confluence of the Columbia and Snake Rivers with a desert climate, easy access to these mighty waterways provides world-class recreation, majestic natural beauty and irrigation for the  world-class wineries  – 200 within a one-hour drive.    The Tri-Cities region is three hours from Seattle and Portland by car, two hours from Spokane, and one hour from Walla Walla and Yakima. Arrive by Amtrak train and then bike or rideshare from Pasco's Inter-modal Station to a hotel or restaurant of choice. Fly into the  Tri-Cities Airport, with direct flights to and from 10 major hubs.  It's home to  a Department of Energy national laboratory and a highly-educated and skilled workforce.

Visitors enjoy creature comforts at local  hotels  and spas, carefully crafted fare from  local eateries  and  farmers markets, and  award-winning golf courses. Hands-on  history  is accessible throughout the region, sharing the local perspective on international events like  The Manhattan Project, and the  Lewis and Clark Expedition. Recreational and  sports  enthusiasts love the Tri-Cities professional sports teams -  Tri-City Americans WHL  ice hockey and the  Tri-City Dust Devils, a professional affiliate of the San Diego Padres.

With a population of over 300,000, Tri-Citians enjoy more than 300 sunny days a year and seemingly endless recreational possibilities on the many rivers and scenic mountains, vast golf courses, and more. And, for those wanting to get out of town, major west coast metropolitan areas including Seattle, Spokane, Portland, Salt Lake City, Denver, and San Francisco are an easy drive or flight away.

Excellent education systems, affordable housing, and plentiful arts and entertainment combine to make the Tri-Cities an excellent place to call home and grow as a medical professional.
