97.5 KISS FM

Richland Police are looking for the driver of the photographed vehicle. On Friday just before 9 am, a weapons complaint call was made to Dispatch. The caller stated that a male in a blue sedan flashed a handgun and potentially fired a shot near Meadow Springs Golf Course. The caller reported that as they tried to leave the scene, the suspect followed them. When Richland Police Officers arrived at the scene making contact with the reporting party, the suspect fled the area in the photographed blue sedan.

MOVE OVER, SPICE GIRLS, MAKE WAY FOR THE YAKIMA VALLEY. Ah, the Yakima Valley! We like it kinda spicy 'round here! Don't believe me, just watch what people sprinkle on their fruit at the next barbecue you go to in the Valley. I can say with some certainty that if there is some kind of fruit or vegetables at the potluck, somebody is going to bust out the Tajin spice, especially if it's summer time.

I'm pretty sure it was a super hot day across the hemisphere when America became a certified country in 1776. It's hard to believe that was 246 years ago. When you think of it that way, the United States of America isn't really that old. Our neighbors to the north, Canada, are even younger as a country than we are (they only gained independence from The Queen in 1867).

Looking for KISS FM? We’ve moved up the radio dial to 105.3. With this new frequency comes more power, to reach more radios. We joke that we’ve got “a bigger stick,” because of the new 105.3 KISS FM radio tower, which transmits a 100,000-watt signal. That’s double power, reaching listeners in surrounding areas like Ritzville, Walla Walla, Benton City, and beyond with a richer, clearer broadcast.

WARNING: PEOPLE CAN SEE IF YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT THEIR TIKTOK PAGE!. I don't know about you but I like to see who has been looking at my social media pages. Yesterday, I wanted to see if one of my former flames had been curious enough to see what I have been up to on TikTok. Our breakup was abrupt and I am still quite sad to be honest, but at least I know that he is still thinking of me because he showed up amongst the people looking at my page! The caveat to that news though, is that he only viewed it when he had become one of my TikTok "followers" and that was before we broke up. Hopefully, he will continue to "see me" on TikTok and maybe if I make a cute enough video he will even give it a "heart" despite our current distance!

My name is Pete and I've lived in Washington for the past two decades. I'm fully aware of what you think Washington is like. To be fair, I thought the same thing at first. My earliest memories of Washington are from when I was five or six. I was living on the Oregon Coast and we would drive up to visit my aunt and uncle when they lived in Pasco. I remember my dad explaining to me what the Tri-Cities were. When we moved to Iowa, we visited Tri-Cities less but we eventually moved here. When I told my Iowa friends I was moving, they had two common misconceptions.

With gas being so high, it's great to get away to a beach that's only an hour's drive away or LESS! When people in Yakima talk about driving down to the beach, typically that means they are heading to somewhere near Ocean Shores along the Washington coast. Don't get me wrong, it is GORGEOUS and relaxing at Ocean Shores but let's face it, these gas prices are too dang high! I know I wouldn't be excited to plan a beach trip that's over 5 hours away; the fuel bill alone would be about the same price as a night's stay in a hotel or Airbnb!
