The Greater Pasco Area Chamber of Commerce (otherwise known as the Pasco Chamber) is a fast-growing group of businesses, associations, agencies and just plain people happily situated where several rivers come together - notably the Columbia and Snake, though the Yakima River also joins in not far upstream.

Pasco is a part of Washington's Tri-Cities. It's the county seat for Franklin County. With 52,500 residents (2009 estimate from the state number-

crunchers), Pasco represents about 20% of the Tri-Cities market population - but unquestionably the best-looking, most intelligent and friendliest 20%.
