Tri Cities Washington Shorts
Description: Jarts, were all the rage in the ’70s and ’80s. A few Jarts, a few friends, and a few beers, American backyard-barbecue-goers would lay down small plastic hoops as targets and play a game not entirely unlike horseshoes. In 1982, folks in Eastern, Washington decided to hold the First Annual Tri-Cities Jarts Championship event at Columbia Park in Kennewick, Washington. Attracting as many as 200 contestants, law darts were flying everywhere that Saturday, and a good time was had by everyone. Well, other than those involved in several Jart related incidents, but luckily for them, Tri-Cities Ambulance was the event sponsor, so they were taken care of relatively quickly. Needless to say, the second annual event would never happen as intended.
Description: The Tacoma Rockets were a professional ice hockey team in Tacoma, Washington from 1946 to 1953. The Rockets played in the Pacific Coast Hockey League from 1946 to 1952, before becoming a member of the Western Hockey League for a single final season from 1952 to 1953. They played their home games in the Tacoma Ice Palace.
