The Tri-Cities region, comprising Kennewick, Pasco, Richland and West Richland, is one of the fastest-growing areas in Washington State and a recognized hub for business, innovation and quality of life.

The regional economy is anchored in research and development, technology, manufacturing, agriculture, retail and healthcare.

Situated at the confluence of the Columbia, Snake and Yakima rivers and in the heart of Washington wine country, the region offers an exceptional outdoor lifestyle and a strong sense of community.

The Tri‑City Regional Chamber serves as a leading advocate for the local business community, representing a diverse membership base across a broad range of industries.

The organization’s mission is to promote economic vitality, support business growth and foster collaboration among business, government and community stakeholders.

The Tri‑City Regional Chamber of Commerce is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit dedicated to being the voice of business in the Tri‑Cities region. Through advocacy, leadership, networking and innovative programs, the Chamber promotes regional prosperity and strengthens its member businesses.

Uniquely, the Chamber is truly regional in scope: it serves four cities — Kennewick, Pasco, Richland and West Richland — across two counties, Benton and Franklin. Each jurisdiction brings its own council, staff, priorities and business character, which adds real complexity to programming, member outreach and public policy.

The CEO must work effectively across all four cities and both counties, balancing distinct local interests while advancing a unified regional agenda.
