Good morning, Pasco.

Babybel, a rescued cat with a gentle nature, is ready for adoption in Richland after raising her kittens; she now awaits her spay appointment and comes vaccinated and treated for fleas, ticks and worms (adoption fee $50).

Interested adopters can schedule meet and greets near Tanglewood Drive and Duportail Street.

The Flower Farm, a longtime flower shop in Kennewick, is clearing out inventory because a gas station will replace its property soon.

Owner Tom Kay said (prices have dropped as he works to sell hundreds of plants in less than a month) and locals expressed support for a future location.

Pasco’s annual Cinco de Mayo celebration takes place at Peanuts Park today from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. with music, food, dancing, and live entertainment, and event organizers include a free shuttle service from Ben Franklin Transit (running every 20 minutes) for easy access.

Washington gas prices hit a record high of $5.61 at a Kennewick mini-mart on Friday, May 1, surpassing the previous record of $5.55 set in 2022 as the summer season nears.

Between May 8 and 18, the Chandler Pumping Plant (12 miles NE of Prosser) will curtail residential water deliveries for the Kennewick Irrigation Department as a pump is replaced, and residents are advised to deep-water lawns before the shutdown; water will be restored once repairs are complete.
