WELCOME TO THE REACH HERE IN TRI-CITIES, WASHINGTON!

From the Ice Age floods to the Atomic Age, there is so much cultural and historical importance and impact that shaped our past, establishes our present, and will guide our future here in the Mid Columbia Basin region.

At the REACH Museum, there are many ways to explore and learn about our surrounding area. Self-guided tours through our featured galleries and rotating exhibits inside, to the amazing outdoor area with a garden of local plant species, to sculptures designed by local artists that embrace our cultural environment, and especially the amazing view of the majestic Columbia River.

We inspire learning by sharing the stories of the Mid-Columbia River Region, its people, and its impact and contributions to the world. VISION The REACH Museum will be an indispensable educational resource and premier cultural destination that serves as a gateway for understanding the natural and cultural significance of the region, for present and future generations. We do so by providing learning programs, outreach, teacher training, and curricula that complement Washington States K–12 Learning Standards/Next Generation Science Standards – with an emphasis on K–8 students and their families. We do so by being the epicenter for tourism specifically for Ice Age Floods, Mid Columbia River Basin history, and the Hanford Reach National Monument.
