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.

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,

1 elk, 2 deer hit in morning crashes near Tri-Cities. It's mating season

Washington State Patrol troopers were called to three crashes with elk or deer in the Tri-Cities area Monday morning, an unusual number for one day, said Trooper Daniel Mosqueda. No people were injured, even in the one crash that involved an elk. Information about the animals was not immediately available. A pickup driving northwest in the Horn Rapids Area on Highway 240 , sometimes called the Hanford Highway, hit an elk about 6 a.m. Although it is not known if the driver was headed to work at the Hanford nuclear site , the highway has many commuting Hanford workers at the time of the crash and a large elk herd roams the nuclear reservation. The other collisions were between deer and vehicles at about 4:30 a.m. on Highway 395 near Connel l and at about 5:50 a.m. on eastbound Interstate 82 near the Badger Road exit in Kennewick . “We just want to remind our drivers, especially at dawn and dusk, (deer and elk) are very active,” Mosqueda said. “We want to make sure that people are aware that we share the road with more than just cars.” At Hanford, the 580-square-mile nuclear environmental cleanup site adjacent to Richland, about
