Kennewick is believed to be a native word meaning “grassy place”, but today it’s known as the “winter paradise” due to its mild winters. You can trek along the famous Lewis and Clark Trail, since it runs right through town, and learn all about the historic exploration of the Louisiana Territory in the early 19th century. You can stock up on any supplies you’ll need since Kennewick has a strong retail district with boutiques, hardware stores, and upscale dining. If you’re looking for arts and culture you won’t be disappointed with the art galleries and charming architecture in town.
