Anyone have recommendations on a reliable company for sprinkler system repair? We are having issues with our system that go beyond the simple sprinkler head replacement and don’t have the time to figure out what’s going on.

Looking for reliable, dependable and preferably someone who can work on our system soon.

Why is it always a brodozer with an Idaho plate on it that tailgates you for a couple miles while you are doing the speed limit. Then they cut in front of you to prove some point and when they get to the light they cross 3 lanes to get into the turn lane last minute cutting off everyone else with their stupidity. Why is it always an Idaho plate though?

Firefighters are just finishing up here. We had a giant blaze going for a bit. I got home right at the end so I didn't get any pictures but saw one from my neighbor.

Second year in a row....

Next Year I'm thinking about just camping out in a lawn chair and telling people to go elsewhere or not to light them off or I'll call the police.

I don't want to be a Ken but wtf

Anyone know what ever happened with the Coldstone? It was supposed to open in June and it’s just sitting there still empty.

It has recently come to my attention that I am a tailgater. I cannot apologize enough to my family, friends, and community. If you have been tailgated by a rad looking lower middle aged woman you unfortunately are not entitled to any compensation; but know she is very sorry and taking the necessary steps to correct this egregious mistake.

I’m looking for places around Pasco, Kennewick, or Richland where there are actually a lot of fish and it’s worth going. I’m mainly just trying to have a good time and catch something, so beginner-friendly spots are cool too.
What spots do you recommend, what fish are usually there, and what bait/lures work best?

I’m sitting here in the midst of the nonstop fireworks and having an emotional breakdown. Why doesn’t anyone seem to care about the impact these fireworks have on our planet, the wildlife, first responders, etc.?

I just feel like we’re so far gone….

‼️From Google, please read:

“Yes, fireworks cause significant damage to wildlife.
The loud explosions and sudden flashes cause panic and disorientation, often leading to mass abandonment of nests, fatal collisions with buildings or power lines, and deadly exposure to toxic chemical debris.

The toll on wild animals is profound and impacts multiple species in several ways:

• Avian Panic and Collisions: Sudden bursts of light and noise often frighten roosting birds, causing them to flee their nests en masse.

Because fireworks occur at night, birds can become disoriented, leading to mass collisions with structures or exhausting themselves until they perish.

• Abandoned Young: Many fireworks displays happen during the spring and summer breeding season. When wildlife parents flee in a blind panic, they can abandon their dens or nests, leaving dependent offspring to suffer from starvation, dehydration, or predation.

Toxic Debris and Pollution: The smoke and fallout of fireworks release toxic chemicals, heavy metals, and unburned propellant into the environment. Debris left on the ground can be mistaken for food by both waterbirds and land animals, resulting in ingestion and poisoning.

• Fleeing into Danger: Small mammals and prey species (like rabbits and deer) will instinctively run away from the perceived threat. Blind panic often drives animals into roadways where they face a higher risk of being struck by vehicles.

Air Quality Degradation: Nationwide celebrations cause a massive spike in airborne pollutants. On the morning after major holidays like the Fourth of July, national fine particulate matter (PM2.5) levels spike by an average of 42%.

Microplastic Accumulation: Modern fireworks use plastic casings and components. A study featured by the BBC tracked a 1,000% spike in river microplastics over a 24-hour period following major metropolitan displays.”

…not to mention all of the litter left behind on the streets. The whole thing just disgusts me. Selfish humans-all for the “love” of our country…please. 🙄

Was picking up a friend from PSC last night and it was a mess. The entire curb lane was packed with cars just sitting there waiting for their passengers so there was no room for me to pull in when I came back around from the cellphone lot.

I ended up stopping in the lane next to the curb behind a car that was already loading a passenger. My friend hopped in within about 5 seconds and we were gone. As we were leaving I noticed a cop car had rolled up behind me, but no lights, no siren, nothing — they just slowly crept forward and that was it. The car in front of my also loaded their passengers at the exact same time.

Has anyone actually gotten a citation at PSC for something like this? Can they mail you a ticket after the fact?

Are there any content creators operating out of the TriCities area? I'm particularly interested in podcasters and Youtubers.

Any reccomendations for pretty locations for a small wedding ceremony in October in or around the tri cities? Looking to do a small elopement somewhere pretty the morning of halloween. Nothing fancy or elaborate, just somewhere we can say pretty words and sign some documents and take some pretty pictures. Spooky vibes welcome but not required.
