I love lighthouses and feel that they are a still a novelty to me after living in the Pacific…read moreNorthwest for over ten years and the fact of being born and raised in landlocked states prior to moving to the West Coast. Normally they are along the coast that we go to see and visit but the Clover Island Lighthouse is a river light house for the Columbia River. There used to be quite a few river lights along the Columbia but if memory serves most of them fell into disrepair or torn down. The Clover Island Lighthouse is quite new by lighthouse standards as it was built in 2010 on Clover Island where events are held as well as river views. It also serves a landmark for the island. Being such a new lighthouse I suspect it's used more for tourism rather than for practical purposes but I wouldn't rule that out either as the Columbia River is a very busy river for boat traffic. It's a little bit of a surprise to me that there was even a lighthouse in Tri-Cities as they are definitely situated in the desert but that makes it ironical in a fun way as well. Quite a few of the lighthouses on the coast have similar paint jobs and some are built similarly as well. I know there is a vast array of different lighthouses in all shapes and sizes but those seem to be more common in Michigan from what I gather. So it was quite refreshing to see a lighthouse that was not only new but also has a stucco look to it which is very appropriate for the arid environment and other housing in areas like this. The island is pretty small and there is a restaurant there and Ice Harbor Brewing has a location on the island as well so you can eat and drink along with taking a gander at this cute little lighthouse as well and any marina activities that are available for those with boats.

We stopped here for about 10 minutes to check out the lighthouse when we were in the area. It's a…read morenice quick little stop with some history. There are great views of the water and bridge and there is plenty of parking. It's definitely worth a stop if you have a few minutes. The sunset here was lovely and we were entertained by some jet skiiers on the water. There was also an ice cream vendor but he was closing up when we arrived.

It was constructed in 1978 and replaced the Pasco-Kennewick Bridge, an earlier span built in 1922 and demolished in 1990. I not only crossed this bridge, but got to see it up close from a boat on the Columbia River (in and out from Clover Island). The "cable stayed" design is quite a sight to see and admire. The Cable Bridge, from the time of its opening, has proved to be a popular landmark in the Tri-City area, so much so it has become an unofficial symbol of the area. The Bridge is lit up at night, and there's an annual Cable Bridge Run across the span. At the foot of the Kennewick end is the Tri-Cities Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The remaining pier of the old Pasco-Kennewick bridge now serves as a scenic lookout, from which one can view its successor bridge.

it's a bridge! and it's blue! and the official name 'Pioneer Memorial Bridge' never had a chance…read more it's not really a bad bridge but it's not really noteworthy either except that it was originally green like the Green Bridge that it replaced and now it's blue. and now the Blue Bridge is about gonna get a fresh coat of blue! the project started some six years ago and work just recently resumed after a years-long hiatus just in time to spoil the commute for thousands of people in the tri-cities area for about fifteen more months. yea!? clocking in a little over 2500 feet from the tips the Blue Bridge caries Route 395 and a much maligned pedestrian way across the Columbia River from Kennewick to Pasco and back. like almost every bridge in the world it is not up to handling the amount of traffic it sees but if y'all drive nice, move over early, and learn to zipper-merge it should work okay for a while longer :-)

About a month passed by and we received our bill for November loath and behold we get a paper statement saying that our bill was overdue from the month of October which made no sense to us because how was it that my father was handed the paper receipt for that month (October) and we were being charged for 2 months? He went in to speak to the same employee that had taken the payment and given him the receipt for her to deny that'd the payment was ever made. My thing is ma'am if you gave him a receipt for that month's payment and he clearly made the payment why were you guys trying to charge us two months worth of payments? Was the money just put in systematically and not inside the till? Or what til this day we never got those $100 back and we strongly believe that City of Pasco screwed us over.
