This Officer works for the Richland Parrish Dept., driving a gray charger. He wrote two tickets on this day and didn't care. I asked him for the laser read out and he said, it was not there and did I believe him. I really didn't care what his answer was at this point, due to me trying to get to an emergency at the time. (my mother was submitted to the MICU). I called about the ticket and the cost of the ticket is $217.00 and maybe point on my license. Clearly it is a money driven area and it's a shame it hurts others in the process. Stay away from this area or just drive way below the speed limit. Because you! will get a ticket.

I was attacked in my home by a neighbor over giving water that was continually running the streets and the animal control would not take it. When Officer Martinez wrote the case up she made it sound like it was my fault. Evidence proves that all her statements were false and Chief Coates defended her. We are filing law suits against Marissa and Officer Martinez. My attorney is flying in about 3 weeks from now. Will keep you posted on time and date as many people have said they want to be there.

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.

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.

A number of years ago a man passed away and left money and land for a new library. We now have a beautiful library that overlooks the Yakima River. The library has a good selection of books, magazines, and movies. You can request items from other branches and they usually come in a few days. The staff members are super nice and helpful. They have several computers and a meeting room that can be reserved. The restrooms are the cleanest in Benton City. The only downside is that this branch is part of the Mid Columbia system. In the past few years Mid Columbia has instilled a ridiculous fee system. The hours are a bit wacky as well. I guess you take the good with the bad.
