Three Rivers Convention Center

The Three Rivers Convention Center is the primary convention center in Tri-Cities, Washington, a mid-size metropolitan area centered around the cities of Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland. Named after the nearby confluence of the Snake, Yakima, and Columbia Rivers, the center is a part of the Three Rivers Campus in Kennewick, adjacent to the Toyota Center and Toyota Arena. Construction of a 115,000 sq ft expansion and attached hotel began in March 2025. History Early Proposals and Development The concept of a convention center in Tri-Cities dates back to the late 1970s. Initial plans in the 1980s included an adjacent convention center to the Tri-Cities Coliseum (now the Toyota Center), but was not realized for several decades . In 2000, the City of Kennewick purchased the Coliseum, transforming it into a public facility. By 2004, the city assigned management to the Kennewick Public Facilities District (KPFD), which then engaged VenuWorks Inc. to oversee daily operations. Construction of the Three Rivers Convention Center commenced the same year, culminating in its opening on June 19, 2004. Facility The convention center includes approximately 75,000 square feet of meeting and event space. This consists of a 21,600-square-foot Great Hall, which can be subdivided into three sections, and 13,000 square feet of breakout rooms. Additional spaces include a pre-function lobby, a large foyer, outdoor patio, and support areas. The facility is used for a range of events, including trade shows, conventions, banquets, meetings, and community gatherings. Expansion In February 2025, the Kennewick City Council approved plans for the expansion of the Three Rivers Convention Center. The expansion project is being led by the Kennewick Public Facilities District and will be funded through bonds, without the imposition of new taxes. Groundbreaking is anticipated in 2025, with completion expected in late 2026. The expansion will add approximately 115,000 square feet of new space, including a 60,000 sq ft exhibit hall, 5,000 sq ft of meeting rooms, an expanded lobby and pre-function space, and a new large-scale kitchen. The expansion is designed to accommodate larger regional events and conferences. According to estimates provided by the KPFD, the expanded facility is projected to host approximately 200,000 attendees per year and generate over 70,000 hotel room nights annually.

Tieton Dam

Tieton Dam is an earth and concrete type dam on the Tieton River in Yakima County, in the U.S. state of Washington. The dam began operation in 1925. Its reservoir, Rimrock Lake, has a total capacity of 203,600 acre-feet (0.2511 km3) with a normal operating capacity of 198,000 acre-feet (0.244 km3) that provides water for agricultural irrigation. This dam is a component of the Yakima Project. Tieton Dam also produces electricity for Burbank Water and Power and Glendale Water and Power, near Los Angeles. The Southern California Public Power Agency installed two 7 megawatt generators in a project started in 2010. The power is transmitted over the Pacific DC Intertie that runs from Celilo, Oregon to Sylmar, California. Upstream from the dam, the river is impounded by Clear Creek Dam, another element of the Yakima Project. About 8 miles (13 km) downstream from the dam, the Tieton River is tapped for the Tieton Main Canal. References External links "Tieton Dam". United States Bureau of Reclamation.

Tilikum Place

Tilikum Place is a small plaza in the Belltown neighborhood of downtown Seattle, Washington. Location and history The site once marked the junction of the land claims of Arthur Denny, William Nathaniel Bell, and Carson Boren. The triangular plaza lies at the intersection of 5th Avenue, Cedar Street, and Denny Way. It was named for the Chinook Jargon word meaning "people" or "friend," but has often erroneously been cited as meaning "greetings" or "welcome," including by the city government itself. Tilikum Place has several tables and benches for public use. Lighting was installed in 2008. The 5 Point Cafe faces Tilikum Place. A notable feature of the square is the life-size statue of Chief Seattle by local sculptor James Wehn. References
Tillicum Village

Tillicum Village je turistická atrakce nedaleko Seattlu. Je v provozu už od doby krátce před světovou výstavou, která v metropoli proběhla v roce 1962. K atrakci se lze dostat malebnou plavbou ze Seattlu, kterou provozuje společnost Argosy Cruises, jelikož se nachází na Blakeově ostrově, který je přístupný pouze lodí. Tillicum Village nabízí ukázku tradičních kostýmů zdejších indiánských kmenů, dlouhý dům a ochutnávku vývaru ze škeblí. V dlouhém domu probíhá vaření lososů na cedrových kůlech nad ohněm poháněným olšovým dřevem. Návštěvníci se mohou občerstvit pečeným lososem, ranými červenými brambory, teplým celozrnným chlebem, dlouhozrnnou rýží, čerstvým salátem nebo čokoládo-lososvým koktejlem. Po jídle se obvykle zdejší tanečníci uchylují k představení s tradičními příběhy, tanci a písněmi. Před odjezdem mohou turisté ještě navštívit galerii místního umění, ukázku tradičního vyřezávání totemů nebo se projít po plážích či stezkách ostrova.

Tillicum Village

Tillicum Village was a Puget Sound area visitor attraction located on Blake Island, a Washington State Park accessible only by boat, which is off the shore of Seattle, Washington, United States. Founded in 1962 by Bill Hewitt, control of Tillicum Village was sold to Argosy Cruises in 2009. Argosy Cruises operated the Tillicum Excursion, a four-hour cruise from Pier 55 in central Seattle to Tillicum Village and back, from 2009 to 2021. Facilities and tourism Tillicum Village occupies approximately 5 acres (2 ha) of leased land within Blake Island State Park. The Tillicum Excursion includes a greeting from Tillicum village employees costumed in Northwest Coastal Native tribal costume. Outside the longhouse, visitors are given a cup of clams and broth (clam nectar). Inside, the longhouse is decorated in art by members of Northwest Coastal Natives and a cooking display shows whole salmon being cooked on cedar stakes over an alder wood fire in a traditional style. Guests eat a buffet meal featuring the just-cooked salmon, after which a 25-minute performance is provided including filmed storytelling by Roger Fernandes of the Klallam tribe illustrated by the Tillicum Village dancers, who wear traditional masks. After the performance, visitors can interact with the performers and walk along the beaches and trails of the island. Visitors can also camp on Blake Island and visit the Tillicum Village longhouse independently. History Bill Hewitt, a local restaurant owner, founded Tillicum Village in 1962, the year of the Seattle World's Fair. The Hewitt family operated it until selling it to Argosy Cruises, the operator of the Tillicum Excursion, in 2009. For 18 years, the show was Dance on the Wind, focusing on dances of British Columbia tribes and provided by Thompson's, a locally based theatrical production company. There were 100,000 visitors in 1978. The facilities and show were updated in 2011. In 1993, President Clinton hosted the first Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in the Tillicum Village longhouse. In 2021, Argosy Cruises ended its Tillicum Excursion due to revenue losses attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Times Square Building

Das Times Square Building ist ein historisches Bürogebäude am 414 Olive Way in der Innenstadt von Seattle im US-amerikanischen Bundesstaat Washington. Das Bauwerk ist als nationales historisches Denkmal sowie als Seattle Landmark gelistet. Geschichte Das Times Square Building war nach seiner Erbauung im Jahr 1916 bis 1931 der Sitz der Tageszeitung Seattle Times. Die Zeitung wurde 1896 durch Alden Blethen aufgekauft, als die Publikation eine Auflage von 3.000 Exemplaren täglich hatte. Bis zum Jahr 1915 war die Auflage auf 70.000 Exemplare täglich und 80.000 an Sonntagen angestiegen. Nach einer Reihe von Umzügen des Verlagshauses entschloss sich Blethen 1915, einen neuen Sitz in der Innenstadt von Seattle zu errichten, der für die geschäftlichen, redaktionellen und maschinellen Anforderungen einer Tageszeitung geeignet sein sollte. Der Bau erfolgte nach einem Entwurf der Architekten Charles Bebb und Carl Frelinghuysen Gould im Stil der Beaux-Arts-Architektur und wegen der Beschaffenheit des Grundstücks in Form eines Flatiron Building (deutsch „Bügeleisengebäude“). Die Fundamente und die Betonstruktur des Times Building wurden bereits in Erwartung einer späteren Erweiterung ausgelegt. Bei Bedarf sollten vier weitere Stockwerke hinzugefügt werden können. Die angedachte Erweiterung wurde jedoch niemals ausgeführt. 1931 war die Auflage der Zeitung auf 100.000 täglich und 140.000 an Sonntagen angewachsen. Das Times Square Building wurde für den Betrieb zu klein und stattdessen ein neuer Standort am äußeren nordöstlichen Rand des Stadtzentrums in Form des Seattle Times Building gebaut und der Verlag dorthin verlegt. Seit den 1960er Jahren wird das als Büro- und Geschäftshaus genutzte Bauwerk als Times Square Building bezeichnet. 1983 erfolgte der Eintrag in das nationale Denkmalregister. Weblinks Einzelnachweise

1000 Second Avenue

1000 Second Avenue is a 493 ft (150 m) skyscraper in Seattle, Washington. It was completed in 1987 and has 43 floors. Originally named the Key Tower and the Seattle Trust Tower for its largest tenants, it is the 23rd tallest building in Seattle as of 2021. History In 1981, a $37 million, 41-story office tower was announced for the site of 2nd Avenue between Madison and Spring streets, sporting an "unusual" curved corner for the entire northwest edge, as well as plazas arranged in receding stacked terraces facing south. The development, planned by Canadian developer Cadillac Fairview and Federal Way-based CHG International, was designed by NBBJ principal Donald Winkelmann and would be built after securing a major tenant. In June 1984, real estate developer Martin Selig announced that he would pay $8.4 million to acquire the project in a property swap with Cadillac Fairview and CHG. The office building would serve as the headquarters of the Seattle Trust and Savings Bank. Demolition at the site began in November 1984, with a series of fire prevention tests conducted by the Seattle Fire Department inside the vacated United Pacific Building, an 11-story office building constructed in 1909 and donated for the test by Selig. The tests, each 15 to 30 minutes long, took place in prepared environments that simulated fires in high-rise buildings and evacuation protocols. One of the "most significant" of the tests was the monitoring of air pressure in elevator shafts and how this affects keeping smoke out of emergency access areas, as this data was needed for fire code updates. Upon the building's opening in early 1987, Seattle Trust announced that it was bought out by Key Bank, who renamed the building to Key Tower on July 20. Key Bank announced plans in May 1989 to move out of the building into cheaper space in the new AT&T Gateway Tower; Selig filed suit in court to block the move, alleging that the announcement would "diminish the market price of [the tower]" and that the long-term lease signed by Key Bank had agreed to a move in 1992. The suit was dismissed and Key Bank moved to the AT&T Gateway Tower in 1991. After the sale of the Columbia Center in 1989 to Seafirst Bank, Selig moved his real estate company's offices to the Key Tower. After the loss of Key Bank, the tower's name reverted to 1000 Second Avenue, which was the name of the Cadillac Fairview project from 1981. Since 2012, the building has been host to an annual rappelling event to raise funds for the Washington Special Olympics program. Major tenants U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement References
Titlow Beach

Titlow Beach is in Tacoma, Washington, USA. It is located along Puget Sound near the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. It has a beach, community center, park, water play area (all of which are run by Metro Parks Tacoma), one restaurant, a view of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, a small boardwalk, and is a popular scuba diving area. History Local lawyer Aaron R. Titlow purchased the property in 1903 and in 1911 built the 3 1/2 story Swiss Chalet-style Hotel Hesperides, a resort hotel that lasted until 1923. In 1926, the hotel was acquired by the park district. During the 1930s, a renovation by the WPA project removed one and one-half stories of the lodge. The lodge served as the home of the assistant superintendent for parks and then the caretaker for the park until 1990. It was remodeled in 2011, and the pool was replaced in 2013 with a water play area. From June 3, 1928 until 1950 a ferry service ran between Titlow Beach, Pt Fosdick and Fox Island. Ferry service was interrupted in July 1940 with the completion of the first Tacoma Narrows Bridge, and resumed November 8, 1940 with the collapse of the bridge. In 1963, octopus wrestling championships were held at the beach.

Tolmie Peak Fire Lookout

The Tolmie Peak Fire Lookout is one of four fire lookout stations built in Mount Rainier National Park by the United States National Park Service (NPS) between 1932 and 1934. The two-story structure houses a lookout station on the upper level and storage at ground level. The design was prepared under the supervision of Edwin A. Nickel of the NPS Branch of Plans and Designs. The newly completed structure lost its roof to a windstorm and had to be repaired. It is secured against strong winds by cables attached to deadmen. The wood-frame structure is used as a visitor contact point on weekends. The Tolmie Peak Lookout was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 13, 1991. It is part of the Mount Rainier National Historic Landmark District, which encompasses the entire park and which recognizes the park's inventory of Park Service-designed rustic architecture.

Tolmie State Park

Tolmie State Park is a public recreation area and state park covering 154 acres (62 ha) on Nisqually Beach on Puget Sound, eight miles (13 km) northeast of Olympia, Washington. History The park was named after William Fraser Tolmie, a Hudson's Bay Company officer. The state acquired land for the state park from Charles and Ola Jones in 1965. Removal of more than 100,000 tires comprising an artificial reef off the shores of Tolmie State Park and the Nisqually River delta began in late 2024. The attempted reef was part of an overall effort within the Puget Sound during the 1970s and 1980s to increase aquatic wildlife in the waters as a means to strengthen recreational fishing. The tires spread after polypropylene twine holding the tire bundles in place dissolved, becoming a damaging, negative environmental impact. Geography and features Tolmie State Park includes 1,800 ft (550 m) of saltwater shoreline at the mouth of a creek known as Big Slough as well as forest lands, a saltwater marsh, and an underwater park with artificial reef for scuba diving. Activities and amenities Park activities include hiking on three miles of trails, boating, swimming, scuba diving, fishing, crabbing, and bird watching.

Town Toyota Center

Town Toyota Center is a 4,300-seat multi-purpose arena in Wenatchee, Washington. The arena was built and is owned and managed by the Wenatchee Public Facilities District (PFD). It is the home venue of the Wenatchee Wild, an ice hockey team in the Western Hockey League. It was formerly home to the Wenatchee Wolves, the Wenatchee Valley Venom, the Wenatchee Valley Skyhawks, an arena football team, and the Wenatchee Bighorns, a semi-professional basketball team. During planning and early construction, the arena was known as the Greater Wenatchee Regional Events Center, but in August 2008, a local auto dealer bought the naming rights of the arena for an undisclosed amount, giving the arena its current name. Default In 2006, nine local cities and counties formed a municipal corporation then called the Greater Wenatchee Regional Events Center Public Facilities District to fund the Town Toyota Center. The arena went into default on December 1, 2011, when the PFD missed a payment on short term bond anticipation notes. The district was later fined by the Securities and Exchange Commission for misleading investors. It was the first time that the SEC assessed a financial penalty against a municipal issuer. The district settled with the SEC for $20,000. In 2012, legislation was passed and signed by Governor Christine Gregoire to authorize a local sales tax increase to refinance the debt. The default was the largest public default in Washington State since the WPPSS disaster of 1982 that defaulted on $2.25 billion in bonds. In the fine, the SEC also named the developer Global Entertainment and its then-president and CEO Richard Kozuback, the bankers, and a staff finance manager.
