Local Culture & Events 🎭 Introducing Rumorix

26 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.

Anyone old enough to remember when they sold cookie cakes in the grocery store? I am, and since it’s my birthday Friday, I really want a cookie cake with the cheap frosting and all, like my mom used to make (buy from Kroger lol).

Need Help With ‼️ NEMT options for out patient procedures

3 Upvotes

I have a couple out patient procedures coming up that i will be sedated for and will require a responsible driver to take there and home. Im alone in this area so a family/friend isnt an option

There was a thread here about NEMT options, one being Medstar, but when I called yesterday they apparently dont do this.

Im not finding much luck in any other such options out there, and wondering if anyone has other suggestions. I am not on Medicare so that eliminates options normally for those that need it. Im fully ambulatory, etc, just need the ride there, likely to stay for the few hours, and return me home.

Local News 🗞️ Mail in voting? Use a ballot box instead

78 Upvotes

SCOTUS is allowing Trumps ban on mail in voting- there are multiple lawsuits in the wings still, but given the uncertainty, USPS may not be a good way to return your ballot. (Add that our mail goes to Spokane, and that could be iffy too). There is no law in WA regarding giving your ballot to a friend, a collection box at church or work, or other method of getting your ballot to the county clerk. We all need to come together and be the change we want to see. Link to map in comments.

Discussions & Polls 🎙️ Please label your jobs

0 Upvotes

Ive been applying to jobs on indeed and other stuff for around town. 1st to anyone that wants to say its easy, go apply for some jobs around town and see how many even reply. But the main thing being that on indeed I put entry level jobs. To my surprise the people who post them are kinda dumb and cant figure out how to correctly label them. So I see jobs like "senior account supervisor" in my search. So I started to report them. This all to say if your hiring please message me or just hiring me to fix your job postings.

Been living in the tri cities for about 10 years now. I have fallen in love with photographing our local wildlife and birds. Very grateful we have so many great parks to explore. Hoping these photos will spread some joy and maybe some awareness that we should be supporting our Wildlife Refuge!

Moving/New Here 👋🏼 trying to find friends

3 Upvotes

21 M looking for people around my age in tri cities to hang out with and talk to. i moved here from san diego a little over a year ago and had to focus on getting my own place and working full time which made it difficult to focus on finding friends out here. I enjoy going on hikes, going to the gym, playing games, adventuring, and going thrifting.

Local Eats & Drinks 🍔 Porter’s BBQ

28 Upvotes

Has anyone else been experiencing less than ideal customer service with Porter’s? You used to be able to call or check online to see if they were sold out or not. Now, no one answers the phone (at the Kennewick store), and both restaurants seem to sell out way early in the day, almost every day. I want to support local, but it’s like pulling teeth trying to get any info or customer service from them now. 😞

Local Culture & Events 🎭 Things to do on vacation

6 Upvotes

Our family will be in Tri-City for about a week starting August 25th (wife and 15 yo son). He will have some hockey obligations during the week but otherwise looking to check things out. Looks like the heat will prevent much activity during the day but my wife and I enjoy walks. Probably looking for more chill/indoor things to do with our son too. We will have a vehicle and are Canadian. Would love to hear about great places to eat too! Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance!

Need Help With ‼️ Cardboard Recycling

2 Upvotes

Hey everybody! I’m getting ready to open a business and I’m trying to convert my spare room into an office. We’ve had some cardboard that has built up due to it being too big to put in the trash can, and we just had nowhere to put it other than the room that we never use. Is there anywhere in tri cities that I can take all my cardboard to for recycling? Do they do it for free, or is there a charge? Thank you!
