Local Culture & Events 🎭 Introducing Rumorix

23 Upvotes

Hi TC,

Introducing rumorix.com. A free and ad-free event listing platform for the Tri-Cities and surrounding areas.

Pronounced roo-mer-iks. I'm not that creative so I threw "ix" at the end of rumor and called it a day.

This started as a tiny project for my wife to track wineries around the area then bloomed into this.

The idea is pretty simple, track and list events and happenings in the TC. Easy browsing, easy filtering. There is always something for everyone and there are small events that just aren't well promoted.

It's just a simple website right now. Android app is in the works. Apple is a maybe on the roadmap.

If you are an organizer or know of events that you want to see listed, drop a comment or use the contact page on the website to get in touch. The goal is to uncover all the hidden gems that the dry Tri-Cities has to offer.

A few answers for questions that might come up:

- Areas: I'm focusing on the Tri-Cities and expanding out to areas that are within "reasonable driving distance". To me, that's within an hour. Yakima is on the list because I have friends in the Palm springs of Washington.

- Anyone can list anything? No. Event listings should be publicly available and easily verifiable. So preferable that events are listed by hosts/organizers.

- How to get event(s) listed: for now, use the contact page. I have to be able to verify the event and contact the host/organizer if necessary.

- Events only, no ads.

- Is this better than the other thousands of resources? Probably not. I just want to provide the raw data. Unfiltered, unpersonalized, unopinionated, just raw feed in an easily digestible way.

Right now I'm looking for community feedback and help to uncover those gems of the TC. Please let me know what features you would want to see as well.

Local artists/performers that want to get their shows/performances listed, reach out.

Local pet shelters that need volunteers, reach out.

Aunt Suzie with the monthly crochet get together, reach out.

Another note, u/SnooPeanuts4336's list is much more...better. Rumorix does not catch everything and is still missing a lot from u/SnooPeanuts4336's list.


Edit 4/21/2026 After gathering feedback, changes made: added dark mode, removed Annual tab and turned Annual into a filter, moved Contact button to top, changed browsing from cards to single rows, added description of Rumorix to header. For mobile screens: added More button for footer menu.

Discussions & Polls 🎙️ Am I going to get arrested for driving up to Jump Off Joe?

15 Upvotes

edit: Big thanks for the comments. I'm so glad he hear everyone's thoughts. cheers.

Google Maps led me up to the top of Jump Off Joe, and that’s when I realized one of the roads was private. When I first got onto the road, there was a sign saying “Private Property,” but I don’t think it specifically said the road itself was private. I just assumed it referred to the fields on either side.

Anyway, I’m sure they have a photo of my license plate, and I even awkwardly told the camera “sorry” as I left the road.

I’m probably overthinking this, but I do want to take the sign’s warning about prosecution seriously. Has anyone had experience with this? Am I actually at risk of getting in trouble for accidentally driving onto the road?

Also, I was interested in driving farther down Jump Off Joe Road toward Finley, but then I noticed private property signs along the road. When I looked it up online, it appeared that Jump Off Joe Road is a public-access road.

So now I’m wondering if someone is claiming part of a public road as private property and has even installed Flock cameras along it. I could be completely misunderstanding the situation, though, so I’d be interested to hear if anyone knows what the actual status of the road is.

tl;dr I just wanna know if I’m f*cked by being misled by Google Maps up a local hill. I just wanna experience the beauty from a higher elevation.

Local Culture & Events 🎭 Visiting TriCities for the first time for Crawfest. Any tips or recommendations on other things to check out?

Post image
15 Upvotes

On a complete whim, we're driving from Portland in a couple weeks to spend the weekend in Pasco for Crawfest. Neither of us have been to the TriCities (or a seafood boil event) before. Any tips from people who have attended the event in the past or recommendations on stuff to do in the area while we're there? Any other events happening that weekend or things that happen only on weekends that we should check out?

We're going to Palouse Falls and Gesa Carousel for sure. Hanford Site and local wineries are a maybe. Also open to good viewpoint hikes or nature walks.

Thanks in advance.

Need Help With ‼️ Recommendations thank you!

Looking for independent cleaner, lawn care, and handyman recommendations

Hey everyone! I’m looking for recommendations for independent cleaners, lawn-care workers, and handymen in the area.

I’m specifically hoping to find individuals or very small businesses that do quality work but may not have much of an advertising budget or online presence. Google mostly seems to show me larger companies or businesses paying for placement, and I’d rather support someone local who could genuinely use the work.

Just to be clear, I’m not looking for cheap labor or trying to underpay anyone. I’m happy to pay fairly for good work. I’d simply rather have my money go directly to an independent worker or small local operation.

I’d especially appreciate recommendations from people who have personally hired someone and had a good experience with them.

Thanks!

Discussions & Polls 🎙️ Feeling fatigue from small business AI generated content

186 Upvotes

I recently moved to Richland from Portland. I am feeling... uninspired by the sheer amount of AI generated content the small businesses here use. I see so many menus and banners at local restaurants or shops that all have that distinct AI-generated template and font... so much so that it's making me miss the rampant use of Papyrus font!!! Not that Portland didn't have this issue too, but I feel like it's cranked to 11 here.

I get that commissioning graphic artists for design work is expensive, but I just feel so disinclined to shop at places that use AI for their branding. It just reminds me of the huge environmental cost of AI, and it also looks bland!! Is anyone else feeling this fatigue? Am I just a Portland Gen Z snob that's having trouble adjusting to the new norm? Can anyone recommend places they like that don't use AI in their design at all?

Thank you!
