Description: Richland, Washington, was established in the early 20th century as a small agricultural community along the Columbia River, but its trajectory changed dramatically when it became part of the Manhattan Project. In 1943, the government transformed the town to support workers at the nearby Hanford Site, where plutonium for the atomic bomb was produced. Post-war, Richland transitioned from a company town into a permanent city, with many residents staying to work the Hanford Site. It wasn't until the early '60s when Richland finally got a deluxe motel with full amenities, including air conditioning. When the tiki inspired Bali-Hi opened its doors in '61, it became the best motel in town and had no problem staying booked with Tri-Cities visitors.

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.
