Pasco’s Air Jubilee marks 100 years since the first U.S. contract airmail flight with a Sept. 26 reenactment, vintage planes and a horse-drawn stagecoach.

Born with significant hearing loss, a former Pasco resident defied the odds to finish in the top 10 of the 1989 Miss America pageant, competing as Miss Washington.

Seventy-five years ago, a legendary bronc named Snake competed at the Benton County Fair, helping build the reputation of Kennewick's rodeo.

The first thunder on the Columbia echoing from the piston-fed energy of boats roaring across the surface waters of the Tri-Cities didn’t come from the inaugural race of Unlimited hydroplanes competing here 60 years ago.

The 1936 State Line earthquake, centered near Walla Walla and Milton-Freewater, Oregon, was a powerful 6.1 magnitude event that shook southeastern Washington and northeastern Oregon.

The town known as Wallula celebrates its 164th birthday this spring, perched above Highway 12 about 15 or so miles east of Pasco en route to Walla Walla.

Richland, Pasco and Kennewick enjoyed a sky-high celebration 100 years ago that was considered so historical that representatives, officials and public figures from throughout the Pacific Northwest showed up to participate. 

The 101-65 victory for the Bombers on their home court over the Hermiston Bulldogs in a non-conference affair was the first time ever that a Washington state high school basketball team had broken the century mark by scoring 100 or more points in a game, according to accounts at the time.

Tri-City disc jockey Loyd Aman took the radio scene by storm in the mid-1950s as the Record Wrangler, perhaps the most popular radio personality ever in the Tri-Cities.
