Good morning, Kennewick. Here's your local news at a glance for Tuesday, the 13th of May.
COMMUNITY NEWS
- ➤ Swigg Coffee Bar is partnering with Numerica Credit Union from May 12th to May 16th to support local Girl Scout troops by donating $1 for every drink purchased at its Pasco and West Richland locations — the funds, capped at $5,000, will help pay for summer camp programs and Girl Scout activities. NBC Tri-Cities
ACCIDENTS NEWS
- ➤ WSDOT data shows that a two-mile stretch of US 395 and SR 240 in the Tri-Cities became known as Washington’s most dangerous highway when congestion and slower speeds increased in 2023; drivers reported speeds dropping to 36 mph near seven on-ramps. Local commuters say limited visibility on ramps — which forces quick lane changes — heightens the risk along this busy route. NewsTalk 870
ENVIRONMENT NEWS
- ➤ The Bureau of Reclamation’s May water supply forecast showed that Yakima Basin reservoirs were at 75 percent of average—junior water rights holders may receive only about 51 percent of their allotments. Officials noted that districts like Roza, Kittitas, and parts of the Wapato Irrigation Project will face major recropping and delivery changes. FOX 41 Yakima
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ Public Lands Commissioner Dave Upthegrove said the state cut wildfire prevention funding by $60 million to help balance a $16 billion budget shortfall while continuing fire safety efforts. He warned that the legislature must restore lost funds before next wildfire season—especially as drought and a dry spring raise fire risks—if the state is to be ready for potential wildfires. KONA
