Church members build new home for growing congregation

In the farmland just outside Pasco’s city limits, a congregation came together on evenings and weekends over the course of two years to build a new church. The result is a 36,606-square-foot building with a sanctuary large enough for more than 1,000 people, classrooms, a commercial kitchen, dining space and something the congregation didn’t have before: its own cemetery.

Dave's Hot Chicken update + New pizza restaurant delayed and more Tri-City food news

You’ve seen the signs. The “Coming Soon” banner on that long-empty building or the flashy posting on Facebook and Instagram. New restaurants, coffee shops and more are in the beginning stages of their Tri-Cities’ debut. They may not be quite ready to open, but we’ll share what we know about them. Send your questions and tips to news@tricityherald.com. Pizzeria Evo 6494 W. Skagit Ave., Kennewick Chef Donny Evola is getting ready to open up his pizza place: Pizzeria Evo. The grand opening was set for Sunday, Nov. 15, but the party has been delayed to some time in mid-December. For Evola, pizza making is art form. The award-winning “pizzateer ” lets his dough ferment for 72 hours before serving hungry customers. “When you eat my pizza, you don’t feel like ‘Oh man, my stomach,’” Evola said. “My pizza is very digestible.” Evola has occupied two units at the 1-derful Food Park since February. Dave’s Hot Chicken 7235 Burden Blvd., Pasco The old Subway off Road 68 has been transformed. Now, Dave’s Hot Chicken signs brand the outside of the building.

Coffee-crusted steak, caffeine and cocktails shine at new Richland eatery

When managing partner Justin Bazinet, of new restaurant Phoenix & Folly, was asked in elementary school what he wanted to be when he grew up, his response was “I’m going to be the guy who turns the dining room lights on at the restaurant.” Instead, his career took him into the tech world, where he does IT support all over the country. During COVID, he felt like he was called back to the hospitality industry. After working as support staff for other restaurants around town, like The Peacock, Bazinet is finally opening a restaurant of his own, with his wife, India, and Thomas Kalmbach, who formerly owned The Peacock. Phoenix & Folly is set to open on Friday, Nov. 13, after a handful of delays. Every meal, five days a week Phoenix & Folly has a table with your name on it Tuesday-Saturday from 7 a.m.-10 p.m. The former Salud building has a lounge-like feel, with a mix of tables, high tops and couches. Whether stopping by for a bite of breakfast or a late night meal, the menu has both traditional eats and creative twists. One item Justin expects to be a stand-out is the coffee-crusted New York strip,

From crash victims to pregnant women, new Richland EMS program boosts survival odds

Richland Fire and Emergency Services has become one of fewer than 1% of emergency medical response agencies nationwide that offer a service shown to increase the chance of survival of a patient in shock because of blood loss. “For decades EMS has been very good at getting bleeding patients to blood,” said Dr. Kevin Hodges, the medical program director for emergency medical services in Benton and Franklin counties and an emergency medicine doctor at Kadlec Regional Medical Center. “Today represents a fundamental change,” he said. “We’re now bringing blood to the bleeding patients.” About two and a half weeks ago the Richland on duty battalion chief’s command vehicle started carrying two units of whole blood in a cooler with constant electronic monitoring for temperature control. When emergency medical responders are called to help a patient with major bleeding, the battalion chief arrives with blood to be administered, if needed, before the patient reaches the hospital. Richland is the first community east of the Cascade Mountains to offer that potentially life-saving service, dubbed “Blood on Board,” according to Richland Fire and Emergency Services. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Office of Emergency Medical Services estimates that 37% of trauma patients with
