1. Star Ship FX6-1995-A
During family trips to Alberta when I was a kid, a chuckle and fit of anticipation would come over our car when we saw:

2. Pasco Intermodal Station
I'm a bit of a train nerd, so when I'm at a train depot I'm happy.
Train travel to me is like a step back in time (in a good way). We're lucky in the Tri-Cities to have one of the newest train stations in the Pacific North West (this station was…More »
3. Licensing Tri-Cities Auto
Kennewick, WA 99336
(509) 736-3926
So, as I raced my car across the Yakima River Valley on a Friday night for a salsa adventure upriver on the streets of Yakima, my eyes caught a state patrol car tucked in amongst the tall grass. Sure enough as I passed, it tailed me, and put its…More »
4. Yakima Craft Brewing Company
Yakima, WA 98902
(509) 654-7357
After a day of cross-country skiing on the minimal snow up on White Pass, I came down the hill and planned to fill up my growler at Yakima Craft Brewing Co. I thought they might be closed since it was about 7pm, but when I called they were open till…More »

5. Mural of Jaime Escalante and Edward James Olmos
"You are the true dreamers, and dreams accomplish wonderful things." --Jaime Escalante (this quote always gets me)
Last week, we lost a true treasure: Jaime Escalante
He positively changed many many lives, not just at Garfield High, but also all…More »
6. Southridge Farmers Market
Here in the Tri-Cities we are lucky. For 57.1% days of the week (i.e. 4 days of the week) during the summer, we have the opportunity to shop at a Farmers Market.
The most famous is certainly Pasco's on Saturday & Wednesday.
Richland has one on…More »
7. Mathers Memorial Highway
For months of the year, this stretch of road is entombed in ice, but when it emerges from its hybernation, one must do whatever they can to roll on its asphalt.
This highway consists of one of the closest mountain passes to Rainier National Park (in…More »
8. Su Mercadito
It's hard to explain how cool this little grocery is. I made it here by happenstance. I was Mabton-bound on the 4th of July (Yup, that's right. Mabton's gangsta firework show can hold its own to any big city fireworks!).
There was a "big" grocery…More »
9. Nothing New Antiques
"Loo-pay", it's not "loopy"! Lupe is the owner of Nothing New Antiques in the sleeping dope town of Waitsburg. My lady and I were in the mood to get vintage, and stopped by this antique shop on the main drag of Waitsburg.
Unfortunately, we stopped…More »
10. Furminator Inc
***** SALE!!! SALE!!! SALE!!! *****
Would you be interested in knitting a 100% genuine corgi-hair sweater??!? If so, I've got a herd [of 2] corgi's who can supply you with all the latest colors of the season (white, tan, dark brown, & black).…More »
11. Ragtime Antiques Mall
This place used to be an old fabric store, and now it's an old-looking antique store, and it seems to work. The space is huge. It looks like several vendors hold spots in here and sell your variety of everything.
As I walked from space to space, I…More »
12. Fife's Peak Trailhead
Their call beckons all through the winter and snow. The itch for them causes me to tick when I sit at my desk at work. Daydreams of them make me sad as I veg in front of the TV.
And then Summer arrives. The mountains and I go on our first date of…More »

14. Benton County Justice Center
They finally got me. I was charged for Yelping with abandon in Benton County. I pleaded: GUILTY.
Seriously, I made my trip to the Justice Center for my first Jury Duty experience. I thought of pulling a Lez Lemon, and showing up in a Han Solo…More »
15. Panaderia Tecoman Bakery
I happened to be in Pasco, and was waiting for some taco truck food when I noticed this bakery. This panaderia is pretty small, and they have some of the usual fare (I'm slowly becoming a panaderia expert!). As usual it's cheap, and the treats are…More »
16. Wapato Pawn & Bead
Can't believe I've not Yelped this place yet. I've been going here for years. This is the closest place I know of where one can get pow wow cds. So, whenever I'm in the for the latest pow wow cd, this is where I go (other than pow wows). They…More »
17. West Richland Beer & Wine
Croatia, Scotland, Czechoslovakia, Fort Bragg(CA), Ellensburg....These are definitely places I'd be up for traveling to, and now I can partly visit these lands by grabbing an ale from these countries while visiting the new West Richland Beer & Wine…More »
18. SACNAS
So many regrets. Why wasn't I more active in SACNAS in college. It's such an inspiring organization. So many students out there doing cutting edge and cool work in the sciences.
SACNAS (Society for the Advancement of Chicanos & Native Americans in…More »
19. Walmart
Arlington, TX 76011
(817) 274-1040
Categories:
Department Stores,
Grocery,
Mobile Phones
Stop the presses, this is my first time Yelping about an establishment, I would generally avoid like a diseased blanket. Yes, I'm Yelping a Wal-mart.
This isn't just any Wal-mart, this is THE Wal-mart across the street from the big spaceship (see…More »
20. Valley Grocery
Whenever you're on your way to the Lost Coast via Ferndale, and you are in need of provisions, this is one of your last options (well, other than the Petrolia General Store--http://www.yelp.com/biz /petrolia-general-store-petrol ia).
This is one of…More »
21. Pacific Crest Trail at Chinook Pass
On August 27th, took a drive to Chinook Pass which was about 2.5 hours. I left the Tri-Cities at about 7:30. Made a quick stop at the Ranger Station in Naches, WA to pick up a Wilderness Pass and find out conditions up in the mountains. Like…More »
22. Sage
Where was I? Pasadena, Boston, Las Vegas, Seattle?? This was a stylish, nice, and chill restaurant...and I was north (pretty much at the North Pole---aieee!).
So, I was in Enoch at the River Cree Casino. I've always wanted to go here. While here…More »
23. Williams-Sonoma
Whoooo-eeeeee! I just wanted to buy a pot or something. Walking into WS definitely illuminated my ignorance. When I saw a single pot costing a couple hundred dollars (!), I nonchalantly walked toward the cookbook section (they'd be in my price…More »
24. Wapiti Woolies
I had to stop here for several reasons: restroom break, doggie break, gift shopping, and a place to stretch my legs before heading westward over Chinook Pass.
What a cool store. In here you can find all kinds of Rainier National Park gifts. But you…More »
25. Patit Creek Restaurant
Sure there are oddities in life, but oddities in Yelp? How in the heck could the Patit Creek Restaurant have NOT been Yelped yet?!?!
This little restaurant is tucked into the Patit Creek valley of the sleepy town of Dayton, WA. The stories I've…More »
26. Uncle Bobo's
Stopped off at this joint because they advertised latte's and coffee. We were driving from the North Shore toward the Oahu's windward side, when we passed by Uncle Bob's...errr...Uncle Bobo's (I kept on thinking of "Uncle Bob" from Terminator 2).

28. Tamastslikt Cultural Institute
This is a world class museum of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla [CTU] (which includes the Umatilla, Walla Walla, and Cayuse tribes). The museum includes a nice gift store, and a cafe restaurant (basic fare, but w/ some local stuff when…More »
29. Panaderia Estrella Bakery
I've lived in the Tri-cities for over 10 years and have passed by this panaderia (that's Mexican bakery for the non-Spanish speakers--like me) tons of times. I would always see lots of business at this place, but I never managed to stop by. Well,…More »
30. Seattle Mini
Seattle, WA 98125
(206) 588-4250
Category:
Car Dealers
Neighbourhood: Lake City
MINI is MAJOR.
A little over a month ago, MINI opened shop in north Seattle (now WA state has two MINI dealers). This one is definitely more convenient when I'm hanging in Seattle. I was here to make my first Maintenance Appointment with my MINI…More »
31. Teanaway Mercantile, Inc.
While trying to squeeze a quick hike in during a trip to Seattle (from Tri-Cities), I happened upon the Teanaway River Valley. I had never hiked up this way (did fly fish it last year though). While driving up the valley, I happened upon this…More »
32. Rancho Chico Family Mexican Restaurant
Was going to give this joint 4-stars for their Mexican cuisine, but I had to dish out another star because of the stellar service. Every time I go here with my friends we are greeted with tons of warmth from the servers and owner. They totally hook…More »
33. Ray's Over The River
I was in NOLA for a Friday night (after spending a week in BR...that's Baton Rouge, ya'll). While in NOLA, I wanted to see if there was any salsa going on on a Friday. Ray's is what I came up with. It was just a few blocks away from my hotel on…More »
34. Shell Desert Aire Mini Mart
Mattawa, WA 99349
(509) 932-4300
Categories:
Gas & Service Stations,
Convenience Stores
If you ever find yourself in the desolate lands of Mattawa and Desert Aire, this might be a stop for you---for fuel, snacks, caffeine. It's just a gas station, but I have to give it a shout out, because I found some yummy Uncle Seth's Pink Cookies…More »
35. Shoe Lake Hike Via Pacific Crest Trail
Had been stalking the White Pass/Shoe Lake area for windows of good weather the last month or two (every weekend, it would conveniently be rainy/snowy up there!). Recently I saw the forecast open up for some sunny conditions---during the work week. I…More »

36. La Fleur's Restaurant
When in the backwoods of Louisiana, it can be hard to find a decent place for lunch. Fortunately, Walker has La Fleur's. I've made it here a few times while working in the area. I've went for the buffet every time, and if you're looking for some…More »
37. Seattle Rueda
(FYI---Rueda is a sort of "square dancing" for salsa dancers---parnters dance in a circle (aka "wheel"); a person calls out moves, and partners do the move which was called; partners are switched around the circle in the circle---It's totally fun &…More »
38. River Cree Resort & Casino
So. I was north....waaaaay up north in Edmonton. I didn't go to "you know where", but I did go to the River Cree Casino. This is where I've heard stories of the HUGE Enoch Pow Wow in August. So, I had to go to this casino to just check it out.
I'm…More »
39. Siksika Nation
Siksika, AB T0J 3W0
Canada
(800) 551-5724
This is the best land in the world. This is where half of my blood is from. This is Siksika Nation. Here you will find a proud people, a beautiful culture, and some really good bannock.
I don't get up here enough. I miss hiking around the West…More »
40. The Last Resort
This is a store/gas station as well as a KOA campground. I go to this area to go fly fishing (on the Tucannon River or at some of the lakes in the area), and this is your "last resort" for supplies. ;)
If you forgot to get some water, slim jims or…More »
