It is also one of the fast-growing real estate markets in the Tri-Cities, WA. People are attracted to the cost of living, the number of affordable homes in great neighborhoods, and all the commercial activity surrounding Road 68 in Pasco.

In Downtown Pasco, residents can enjoy a variety of retail establishments, Mexican shops, panaderias, restaurants, and cultural events.
In 2015, Pasco saw the most growth in construction, growing by about 30 percent to $43 million during the third quarter of last year compared with the same months the previous year.
