The Tri-City Herald is a twice-weekly newspaper based in Kennewick, Washington, United States. Owned by The McClatchy Company, the newspaper serves southeastern Washington state, including the three cities of Kennewick, Pasco and Richland (which are collectively known as the Tri-Cities). The Herald also serves the smaller cities of Benton City, Connell, Prosser and West Richland. It is the only major English-language newspaper in Washington east of Yakima and south of Spokane, and includes local and national news, opinion columns, sports information, movie listings and among other features.
The Pasco Herald was founded in 1918 and renamed to the Tri-City Herald in 1947 after it moved to Kennewick and became a daily newspaper. The print edition was published daily until 2023, when it was reduced to a twice-weekly schedule.
In 1950, striking workers of the Herald launched a morning competitor, Columbia Basin News, in Pasco. From 1950 until the summer of 1963, the Tri-Cities was one of the smallest U.S. markets with two competing daily newspapers. Columbia Basin News printed its last issue in 1963.
The newspaper's daily print edition was delivered by a local carrier until December 12, 2022, when it was switched to the U.S. Postal Service; the expanded Sunday edition was moved to a Saturday delivery. The Herald announced that it would decrease print editions to twice weekly on Wednesdays and Sundays (delivered on Sundays). The move is part of a plan to transition the newspaper to more digital content.
