Benton County

You can truly have the best of both worlds in Benton County. Feel right at home in the country—and make it to a major metropolitan city (Seattle, Portland, Boise, or Spokane) in four hours or less. For this reason and a host of others, the Tri-City area (Richland, Pasco, and Kennewick) is growing by leaps and bounds. Benton County is located alongside the mighty Columbia River and the shallower, life-giving flow of the Yakima River where migratory salmon provide excellent fishing. This area is also known as a noteworthy wine producing region—so expect fantastic weekend brunches at a host of beautiful wineries here. And for those moving to Benton County with the out-of-doors on their mind—you won’t be disappointed. Find your inner bicyclist on the Sacajawea Heritage Trail—a 23-mile looped bike system around the Tri-Cities and traversing the Columbia River. Build your new home in Benton County and find the best of your world.
