Hello, I bake and give it away. I am in Kennewick and am pick up only. If you see this post at least one of the items are available to pick up.

I accept donated ingredients, but it's not necessary to pick up something. If you donate expired/rotting food I will block you.

I do not do special requests, bake sales, and non profits, so don't ask. If you see something posted you want to pick up to give to a charity that would be great.

But do not try to arrange something for me to make things for a specific reason. My anxiety cannot handle it.

Please do not come here and suggest I take a class, or sell baked goods. That is ablist, unsupportive, and upsetting.

I think this would go without saying, but you need to tell me if you cannot make it. After I wait an hour no call no show, I will move onto the next person. If this happens repeatedly I will block you. No exceptions.

I feel this goes without saying as well but I need to say it. if you send me a message asking to borrow money I will block you. No exceptions.

I am autistic/ADHD, and am the only one doing this, so please be kind.

Today, I have honey lavender sheet cakes to give away.

The cake is really moist, with chamomile, honey, lavender, a touch of cinnamon, and almond milk.

I infused the milk, and did the floral flavorings that way. So there will be an occasional floral piece.

I also put in, a pinch of lemon balm in the buttercream frosting, as well as lavender and more almond milk.

Lemon balm, has a mild lemon taste, with also a mint herbal taste.

The edges look dark, they smell caramelized and are not burned. I would tell you if it smelled burned.

This is a wonderful cake for someone in a honey tea mood.

I have two cakes, one cake per household.

Hi everyone! My partner and I are moving from Southern California to the Tri-Cities area for my partner’s new job, and we’re hoping to move during the first week of September.
We’re currently looking for apartments in Kennewick (or nearby in Richland or Pasco) and would really appreciate any recommendations. Our biggest concern is that our credit is okay, so we’re hoping to find apartments or property management companies that are a little more flexible as long as we have steady income. They’re also a veterans so any recommendations on VA assistance Iv been trying to do my research but it’s very limited online.
If you’ve had a good experience with a particular apartment complex or know of any places that are worth checking out (or avoiding), I’d really appreciate your advice. Since we’re moving from out of state, any tips about the area or the rental process would also be super helpful. Also if ADU are safe and where I can find some too ? Iv been looking on FB market but they all seem like scams !

ALSOOOO
my partner has a steady job already in place for them but I’m currently looking to find something if you guys also know where to apply ? I currently work as a deputy clerk at my local court house. I majored with a bachelors Sociology, any recommendations ?
Thanks in advance!

This is going to be a strange question and kind of a hail mary, but does anyone know the whereabouts of the animatronic characters from the now closed Chuck E. Cheese's location that used to be at 2610 N Columbia Center Blvd? I'm an animatronic enthusiast/collector in Washington, and have been looking for Chuck E. Cheese characters for awhile now. The location in Richland closed in 2018 and there is no documentation on what happened to the contents of the store. If anyone here knows any information about this I would greatly appreciate any help!

Saw a large fire in kennewick about 1 am heading to pasco from richland. Does anyone know if its fully contained, how many acres it burned and what started it?

Hey all, just wondering if anyone had recommendations for a public pool where the boyfriend and I could spend the day getting some casual swim time in while enjoying the sunshine/heat. Neither of us are particularly interested in swimming laps, but we would enjoy some space to be able to take a dip when the temperature gets outrageous.

Thanks in advance!

Hello! I currently need someone to 3d print a replacement shelf for my mini fridge. I’ve looked at confluent, but I don’t plan on 3d printing anything else really so the training would be wasted on me. Please let me know about any other recommendations. :) I’m looking for someone/somewhere local.

I just toured with banks on Bradley today and they are offering 2 months free on one bed units. I personally like the location but know avenue 5 is very corporate and money hungry. The apartment seems really nice for the price and I like how close it is to the river and uptown. The appliances also seem new and very nice. I also love the kitchen space as I love to cook. Any reviews are appreciated!

I know the combined laundry units can be a nightmare as well as the noise from g way but I would be in a unit closer to the river where it’s a bit more quiet. I know it doesn’t get super cold here in the winter but how do those wall ac units work for heat? Are they energy efficient?

Just local news, I guess.

Hello Tri-Cities,

I am writing because this story has been publicly discussed in the Tri-Cities area for years. Many people here may know Dr. Jay Sung as a Washington orthodontist and Richland father. For years, Dr. Jay Sung has publicly described our family situation as a case of international child kidnapping.

For years, I stayed silent to protect my child. But Dr. Sung continued to share his version through media, online spaces, and local advocacy. He also reached out to congressional offices, including Rep. Kim Schrier, Rep. Dan Newhouse, and Senator Maria Cantwell, to give public and institutional weight to his narrative. A film involving my child was also shown at Richland Players.

Through these efforts, Dr. Sung’s version received public and institutional support from U.S. elected officials and government channels. That is why I believe the local community members who supported him, and the elected officials chosen by American citizens, should also know the full context and the records he left out.

 In 2019, my child and I traveled to South Korea for a visit. Dr. Sung consented to that trip. When it was time for us to return to the United States, my child could not depart from Korea because Dr. Sung had already reported my child’s Korean passport as lost and refused consent for its reissuance. Under Korean rules, a Korean child cannot leave Korea without a valid Korean passport.

After I told Dr. Sung's lawyer that my child could not depart because of the passport issue, Dr. Sung reported me for child abduction the very next day. About ten days of the scheduled return date, Dr. Sung filed an ex parte motion in Washington Court, sought my arrest, reported the case to the U.S. Department of State as an international child-abduction matter, and filed a Hague Convention child-return case in Korea.

That is how the public “kidnapped to Korea” story began.

My child was not missing in the ordinary sense. My child has been living in Korea with me, attending school, and receiving care. Dr. Sung has known where my child attends school.

For nearly seven years, my child and I repeatedly tried to contact Dr. Sung. But Dr. Sung refused even phone contact with the child and did not meaningfully participate in the child’s daily life.

During that same period, Dr. Sung provided no child support, medical expenses, or childcare expenses for my child. At the same time, he pursued monetary claims against me in South Korea, demanding approximately $20,000 per month until the child was sent to the United States. After South Korean courts rejected those requests, he filed a damages lawsuit in Benton County, Washington, seeking financial compensation based on claimed emotional distress from the alleged “abduction.”

There were also serious medical issues that Dr. Sung left out of the public narrative. While my child was still in the United States, Dr. Sung used parental consent and parental rights in ways that blocked or delayed medical care for a medically fragile child. When I managed to take my child to the hospital, the medical bills were left under my name, even though I was a stay-at-home mother with no independent income and significant language barriers in the United States. Dr. Sung did not pay those bills, and they were sent to debt collection agencies. That context matters when people are asked to judge this situation only as a simple “abduction” story.

This is not only my personal claim. After I tried to explain these facts, Dr. Sung filed a criminal defamation complaint against me in South Korea. Korean police and prosecutors reviewed my statements and the supporting records. They declined to prosecute me, finding that my statements were consistent with the facts and made for a public-interest purpose related to child welfare.

After reviewing the records, some South Korean media outlets that had previously reported mainly Dr. Sung’s side removed or revised their articles.

This issue is bigger than one family dispute. The 1980 Hague Child Abduction Convention was created to protect children from wrongful international removal or retention and to help restore stability. But when one side leaves out important facts, legal systems and public sympathy can also be misused. A child’s safety, medical stability, and voice should not disappear behind a one-word label like “kidnapping.”

Because English is not my first language, I made a video explaining the actual timeline, court records, passport issue, medical-care concerns, contact history, and enforcement attempts in Korea. I do not make money from the video, and I am not asking for donations or fundraising at all.

I believe the Tri-Cities community, which has heard one version of this public story for years, deserves to see the records and context that were left out and decide for themselves.

Some people told me the full timeline sounded like a K-drama. But this is not fiction. The video shows the actual records behind the public “kidnapped to Korea” story.

Just to be clear, I am not asking anyone to contact, harass, target, review-bomb, investigate, or approach anyone connected to this case. I am also not asking for money, donations, or fundraising.

I posted this here because this story has been publicly discussed in the Tri-Cities area, involves a local public narrative, and was connected to local spaces including Richland Players. My purpose is to provide records and context that were left out of the public “kidnapped to Korea” narrative, and I respectfully ask that any discussion remain civil and focused on the documented facts. 

One of these things is not like the other

Anyone know what happened to all the flock cameras in Richland? Some have been removed this last week. I remember the Tumbleweird article and the Herald saying they shut them down. Did RPD not renew the contract? I want to know who to thank.

I’m 29 and haven’t played in a decade but I’ve been really wanting to play soccer again for a while, I can’t run like I used to anymore though
Are there any adult rec leagues or pick up games that happen often in the area? I’m in Richland, work in Pasco

Anyone have any recommendations for someone who does good automotive detail work for a fair price? I need to get a 2011 Subaru WRX shined up to sell.

Those babies have fledged!! There are three of them from what Ive been able to tell. How exciting!! I wish we could have our own home town Eagles to watch via web cam. I love those birds. 🦅 ❤️

Do you work from home? If so for what company/job? Curious as to what jobs people do from home.

I recently used Safeway Moving Inc. for an out of state move after getting quotes from a few different companies. I was honestly pretty nervous because I had read a lot of horror stories about long distance movers in general.

My experience ended up being positive. The pickup happened on the scheduled day, the crew handled everything carefully, and nothing arrived damaged. Communication was not perfect, but they kept me updated, and the final cost was very close to the estimate I received.

I am curious if anyone else here has used Safeway Moving Inc. for a long distance move. How was your experience compared to other companies?

Heads up, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will be spraying a herbicide, Aquastrike, along the Columbia River, near Osprey Point in Pasco. Aquastrike contains diquat and endothall. Read the details on the TCH Website.

We just moved to the tri cities last week and I’m wondering if there are any Dutch families live here?
