Expenses Related to Living in Kennewick

  • Higher Utility Costs for Cooling: Kennewick is in the Tri-Cities area and has a semi-arid climate with rather hot summers.

  • Irrigation and Watering Expenses: The area gets only about 8 inches of rain per year, which is well under the national average. Maintaining a normal law will require an irrigation system and/or sprinklers. Water bills add up.

  • Wildfire Preparedness: Wildfire risks are real. Homeowners might spend money on fire-resistant landscaping (like removing brush or planting firebreaks) and/or upgrading their home with fireproof materials, such as metal roofing. Insurance premiums might be higher if your property is near wildland areas.

  • Windstorm Damage Repairs: This is yet another expense that can add up.
