Three hundred fifty miles upstream from the mouth of the Columbia River at the junction of the Snake River in Washington State, sits the city of Kennewick. With Richland and Pasco, it’s the largest of the three known as the TriCities. Years ago, it was explored by Lewis and Clark, the first American overland expedition to the Pacific from the mouth of the Missouri River. Nearby is the Sacajawea State Park, the Native American who traveled the entire 4,100 mile route with the group. More recently, in 1996, the city became known for the discovery of the 9,000 year old Kennewick Man, found along the banks of the Columbia.
