It was great meeting you guys in Walla Walla 😊
It was great meeting you as well!!!
Don’t know if y’all haven’t checked out Walla Walla but it’s another big wine destination and super underrated imo
We will very very soon 😊.
@Malikforever I've been here a year now and to say that this area has long ways to go as far as it's diversity and treatment of those not white would be an accurate statement. We have faced longer wait times at restaurants, my partner has been called the n-word several times, while DoorDashing we've had close calls, and other incidents that will make this area not be home for us. On the flip side, I have made some good friends and there are good people here and I love my job so there is that. I wish you the best of luck.
We hate to hear that. We are sorry that you all had to experience that type of treatment. But it’s good that you’ve found some bit of community. We hope that you start to see continued positive change in the area. Stay safe and thanks for watching!
West Richland isn’t part of the Tr-Cities. It’s the passive aggressive step sister. I grew up in Richland, it’s nice, but not really pro black historically. I’m glad you addressed the lack of black faces. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
whats pro black?
@@AD-ln2xuIt means NOT anti-black.
music should enhance...it's too loud in this video and distracts.
Used to live in the Tri Cities. You were extremely kind in your review😂.
Hah to say the least😂
I WAS thinking about moving here. Any suggestions for other places I could look?
I give it a 2.5 outta 5 due to the fact that they still try to exclude black people and deny the level racism there is round here. Beautiful place but not fun to be black in it. Ive had my experiences here as a afro spanish speaking man.
We hate that you experienced that but your experience adds more insight looking back at our trip. Still THANK YOU for sharing your truths about your experience that we couldn’t speak to only spending a short time within. We do want to come back to the Tri-Cities, but next time experience the diverse businesses and communities still living there. Thanks for watching!
@TravelingWhileBlack1 it's on the internet look it up for yourself. You guys are awesome keep it up
@@TravelingWhileBlack1yes come back we do have culture here and tons of black own businesses and non profits!!
We do have issues with counting on this side of the cascades. I’m sure it has nothing to do with being down stream of the Hanford nuclear plant. 😁😁😁
Time for that British Columbia trip.
Yes! We’ve been to Vancouver, BC but we want to go to more places in that area.
Good to hear that Martin Luther King Jr.s work and faith and dream shines over the past racism of many places, including Tricities WA. Warms my heart and enjoyed watching you live out his dream. I love the guy in the background chiming in "it's four", had me laughing out loud". Posted from a white guy whose 12th birthday card was of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King jr. because my mom, a civil rights worker knew I admired him and looked up to him for the power of non-violence during such a hateful time and the power of love over hate back in the 60s. God bless you both as you enjoy his legacy!
y’all really captured the tri cities pretty well. props! they also got some cool science stuff nearby ;)
I love how black this channel is. Not too black. Just black enough.
imagine replacing the word black with white. This sentence wouldn't be approved.
Don’t miss Missoula and kalispel
If you enjoy cloudy, windy and cold weather for 9 months out of the year, this is the place for you. There is not 300 days of sunshine here! Also the housing prices will price you out of the market unless you're a millionaire. Not worth it.
@andrewlang4448 sounds like most cities/towns here in the Pacific Northwest lol. But still don’t agree that it’s not least worth a visit. Thanks for watching!
What’re you smoking? I see the sun everyday. Maybe get out your basement
New sub!! I live here and have a very….. love hate relationship 🥴
What a great video!! Looking forward to all your other videos :) Chelan next if y’all haven’t been there yet? 😊
If you come back - come on down to Emerald of Siam a great music venue and Richland landmark.
Tri Cities Diversity & Inclusion council is an amazing non-profit too working to enrich this city with culture. We have an event end of August if you plan to come down at that time 😊
Check out La Pulga in east Pasco! Awesome Mexican Flea Market. Stacks in Kennewick, Pupusas on Gage, and the breweries! 😍
We actually have our Chelan episode coming out today!
I’ve lived in Tri town for 30 years, and I was shocked to find out that you actually taught me more about my own hometown. lol! Like, I had no idea Dove Tail even existed! Thanks for the info and thank you for visiting. You seem like lovely people and you’re welcome back anytime with open arms. ❤
Dovetail Joint is only a few years old. Great food when they have items that you enjoy. Their menu changes CONSTANTLY, so it's not great for creatures of habit like myself. Unfortunately, the last couple times I was there, nothing really piqued my interest.
Thank you much for posting this. I'm moving there next month and your video was very helpful.
Moving there next month too
Yeah I'm curious to know how that worked out. This place is trash @Malikforever
The lodge is beautiful me and my mom are def gonna go there this winter r
We know you will love it! Safe travels and thanks for watching!
Fun fact richland is where the plutonium came from for the nukes used in japan
Yes! You can even do a tour of the Hanford site where the Project was ran out of. We were supposed to check it out and include it in the episode but unfortunately ran out of time.
Currently live in pasco, I’m Open to share.
I'm white and moved here (Tricities) as an adult, but my huband and his family have lived here for a few generations and he told me of its history. I was really surprised, but agree it has definitely shaped the regions demographics.
I was super curious to hear your perception of the area. I feel like your assessment was pretty fair. I hope these towns can continue to be more welcoming to people of all races.
Thanks for your video! There were some places you mentioned that I hadn't heard of and will have to check out!
Beautiful video, great info, very enjoyable...
But please consider that the background music is INCREDIBLY distracting for a large portion of your viewers.
Regardless, thanks for creating & sharing your travels!
Noted!
Just curious how you go about choosing a winery to stop by on your travels?
It always depends, sometimes recommendations, sometimes we search them out, and sometimes we get invited out. 😊
There's not too many black people travel or live out there.
Great capture of everything
I currently live in kennwick and it’s a great place to live! I do say you will like village bistro alot because the foot is very good! I’m so glad you guys went to the tri cities!
Please come to Moses Lake Washington❤
Population expected to climb by one hundred thousand in the next twenty plus years.
Great video. Thanks for producing it. Lots of interesting history here.
only clicked on the video because of the title lol
Come back! We're here! We gather! We have fun!
Do they have a lot of homeless like the Seattle area?
Currently live there and there are homeless people but not as severely bad as Seattle. Haven't found any homeless camps here so far
Traveling while asian is a much better channel
So go watch that. 🤷🏽♀️
Dude.... My black girlfriend was pissed off after seeing this video, so was I. I mean on trash talk of our area when knowing nothing about it. Sounds a bit racist too or mayne just ignorant
Are you offended by history lol? Block us so you’ll never see an episode of ours again 😌.
@@TravelingWhileBlack1how do you block a channel?
@@TravelingWhileBlack1 that part😅😅😅
Nice confederate flag in your background. 🙄
@@angiemarie1142I bet he search for black people to complain 😂😂
Richland is my hometown , nice small not diverse back in the day but more so now ..
