West Richland is best known within Washington as one of the Tri-Cities, alongside Richland, Kennewick and Pasco. The Yakima River traces the city’s southern edge before joining the Columbia River nearby, placing West Richland in the dry, irrigated landscape of southeastern Washington. Residential neighbourhoods and local parks sit between the river corridor and open basalt hills. The Red Mountain American Viticultural Area, known for its vineyards and wine production, lies close to the city. West Richland also belongs to a metropolitan area whose modern growth has been closely connected with the Hanford Site and its scientific legacy.
