Putting the Tri-Cities on the Map: A Vision for Local Impact

Made in the Tri is a community-driven initiative dedicated to showcasing and supporting the local talent, businesses, creators, and entrepreneurs that make the Tri-Cities area unique. By leveraging my platform, I’m committed to putting the Tri-Cities on the map and highlighting the incredible innovation, creativity, and diversity present in our community.

As an entrepreneur deeply rooted in the Tri-Cities, I’m passionate about shining a light on the hardworking individuals and businesses that are shaping the landscape of our hometown. Made in the Tri is more than just a campaign—it's a movement to foster connection and growth for local creators, builders, and innovators. By highlighting the businesses that make our community vibrant, I aim to create a space where local creators and entrepreneurs can thrive and gain the recognition they deserve.

I especially want to highlight businesses that are welcoming to all, regardless of size or ability. The goal of Made in the Tri is to build a network of businesses that cater to everyone and ensure that our community has access to the resources it needs to thrive. I will only be sharing businesses that create spaces that are accessible and welcoming, with a focus on highlighting the accessibility of physical locations where applicable.

As part of Made in the Tri, I’m providing these businesses with reviews, social media coverage, and content featuring their products, services, or locations when applicable. This coverage helps local businesses gain exposure, connect with a wider audience, and grow. Whether it’s through a dedicated post, a shout-out on my social media channels, or content that showcases their offerings, my goal is to support and amplify their work in meaningful ways.

This initiative is my way of giving back to the people and places that make the Tri-Cities truly special. Join me in supporting local businesses by using the hashtags #MadeInTheTri and #MadeInTheTri2025 to share your favorite spots. Let’s continue to uplift and empower the Tri-Cities community!
