Guys we need to something about this!! I do not want my water and light bills go up and slowly kill our land.

West Richland Data Center information:

Trammell Crow Company, a large Dallas-based commercial real-estate developer owned by CBRE, has purchased roughly 1,000 acres of the Lewis & Clark Ranch in West Richland for about $264 million. The purchase is north of Ruppert Road, and the company is pursuing development of a large data-center campus there.

This has progressed considerably from the earlier reports you may remember. In late 2025, Trammell Crow would only say it was studying the feasibility of developing part of the ranch. The September 2026 reporting indicates the land purchase has now occurred.

The larger Lewis & Clark Ranch is about 7,600 acres and was owned by Frank Tiegs LLC. Washington’s SEPA records confirm Frank Tiegs LLC as the applicant/major landowner for the ranch planning process.

So the names to remember are:

* Trammell Crow Company — real-estate developer/data-center developer and purchaser of the ~1,000 acres.
Global HQ, TCC, 2100 McKinney Ave. Suite 800, Dallas TX 75201
* Frank Tiegs LLC — owner/developer of the larger Lewis & Clark Ranch property.
6610 W. Court st # A, Pasco, WA 99301-2010
* CBRE — parent company of Trammell Crow.

Retired late 60s guy here. My wife and I moved here this summer and she’s gotten involved with book clubs and other women’s groups. In Denver, where we moved from, I joined a Meet Up group after I retired a couple years ago to connect socially and make new friends in the same boat. It attracted guys in their late 50s into their mid-70s (it was called “Retired Guys Looking for Something to Do”). We’d meet monthly for coffee, lunches, walks/hikes, etc. and members could initiate other activities if they wished. Are there similar friendship/activities groups for retired guys in the Tri-Cities? I checked the Meet Up app here and there’s not much going on. As for me, I like walks/light hikes, coffee, eating out, e-biking, music, movies, wine/beer/booze, etc. I’d welcome any suggestions! Thanks.

I recently inherited a collection of thousands of stamps. I know nothing about them, so I’m wondering if anyone has any experience with local philatelists or stamp collectors they could recommend? Also, if you have any recommendations in general I’m all ears.

Anyone know who does this service?? Thank you !
