Any of the local breweries have some great food and drinks on tap that your friends and family will love! Personal favorite is Bombing Range, great food, service and some fun history on the area!
I think experiences make for a great gift and we have 3 different axe throwing businesses in Tri-Cities that would make for a fun date night, adventure with friends, or just a great way to relax at the end of the day.
Lara, Director of Convention Sales
The Octopus’ Garden – Fun store with lots of quirky and unique items and cards; great place to find stocking stuffers and other cool gifts.

Artfetti! I love their macarons and will be picking up a box for Christmas.
Linda, Sales Administrative Assistant
Country Mercantile: Their chocolate covered caramel apples are the best!
Karisa, Director of Marketing
Every year I make a stop at Chukar Cherries to pick up the Milk Chocolate Honey Pecans—they’re to die for—in bulk for friends and family.
Chase, Business Development Manager
Basin Department Store located in Historic Downtown Kennewick is a must visit when looking for winter gear, work attire, the right pair of boots, or that flannel that your wardrobe is missing. Friendly service and a wide selection of merchandise ensures a very pleasant shopping experience.
Austin, Marketing Manager
A unique store with games on top of games, Adventures Underground is a one stop shop for everything fun! If you are looking for a gift for a game board enthusiast, look no further!
Beaver Bark has unique and cool items that you can't find anywhere else! For the holidays they deck out their store to make it look like a winter wonderland and is a great spot for some holiday shopping.
