Living your best Tri-Cities summer doesn’t have to mean breaking the bank to finance a backyard pool.

Thanks to the shared economy, hosting a private pool party doesn’t require owning a pool, belonging to a club or living in a condo or apartment complex that has one.

Linda Christensen has rented her Richland pool since 2020, when the pandemic has shut down municipal pools.

She said her customers are mainly families who hold birthday parties or host out-of-town guests. One couple rented the pool for a date and she’s…

A child provided an answer to a question asked of President Joe Biden during an event that brought children face-to-face with the president.

While we’re now seeing the cautious reopening of many music and show spaces around Portland, the city’s small venue scene (think Waypost size) has always been on the struggle bus. And dedicated all-ages spaces, in Portland, are virtually nonexistent.

So the addition of coffee shop Honey Latte Cafe to the roster is especially welcome. Located in Portland’s Central Eastside on Southeast Main Street in the old Equal Exchange spot, Honey Latte has hosted more than 50 shows—music, comedy and more—in its cafe parking lot.
