Richland, City in southeastern Washington, United States
Richland extends along the Columbia and Yakima rivers, forming part of the Tri-Cities metropolitan area with Pasco and Kennewick at 117 meters elevation.
The United States Army acquired the city in 1943 to establish the Hanford nuclear site, transforming it from a small settlement into a Manhattan Project community.
The REACH Museum presents exhibits about the Columbia Basin region, covering natural history, scientific developments, and the impact of the Ice Age floods.
Two marinas, multiple docks, and a five-mile paved trail system connect the waterfront areas, providing access points for water activities and recreational paths.
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory and Manhattan Project B Reactor demonstrate the city's continuous connection to scientific research and innovation.
