Leaders from the Tri-Cities area convened to address the placement of state-contracted homes for sexually violent predators, following the failure of several restrictive bills. The focus was a new, less restrictive alternative house in Kennewick, with mayors attending a Franklin County workshop to strategize. The main concern was the lack of local input in the state process, as court decisions have weakened original protections. Neighbors protested near West Eighth Avenue, with about 7,200 kids living within two miles. Mayors emphasized this as a nonpartisan family safety issue, not just a NIMBY problem. No firm decisions were made, but they agreed to hold a regional town hall and unite policy and legal experts for stronger bills next year. Local efforts continue, including a new nonprofit raising funds for legal challenges and cities exploring zoning tweaks.
