The good news is that Costco has been trying to get a second location in the Tri-Cities to match their Kennewick location for years and it looks like a second location will soon become a reality.

In an article posted by the Tri-City Herald, there might be one small bump that could slow down the deal.

According to the article:

Costco does not yet own or control the site, which is behind the Target-anchored Vintner Square shopping complex. The property is owned by the state of Washington and managed by the Department of Natural Resources. The two sides have negotiated a lease for more than a year.

So negotiations are continuing but all parties involved are looking at a September 2024 resolution.

Costco doesn't comment on ongoing construction or future construction but the permits have been filed and are pending a final negotiation with the Department of Natural Resources, we might finally see a second Costco location in the Tri-Cities.
