Kennewick, Washington, at the confluence of the Columbia and Snake Rivers in the Tri-Cities metropolitan area, serves as the commercial hub for a regional market drawing from southeastern Washington, northeastern Oregon, and southwestern Idaho, sustained by the Hanford nuclear cleanup complex in Richland, the Columbia River Basin agricultural economy, and the wine country corridor that the Walla Walla and Yakima Valleys generate. Columbia Center Mall, the 733,000 square foot enclosed regional mall on Kennewick Avenue, is the primary enclosed comparison-shopping destination for a trade area whose distance from Spokane, Portland, and Boise gives the Kennewick property a captive catchment extending well beyond the city limits.
