LOCAL BUSINESS PART OF REGIONAL GROWTH

Pasco, WA – July 15, 2008 – In a recent WA CEO Magazine article, senior writer Bryan Corliss highlighted that … the Tri-Cities, the butt of decades of radioactive-glow-in-the-dark jokes, described as the "Dry Cities," have led the state in population growth since the start of this decade. Percentage-wise, they're also among the leaders in job creation, and average Tri-Cities paychecks are among the highest in the state, thanks to high-paying high-tech jobs in science and health care research.

What's to like about the Tri-Cities? Plenty, says Rabindra Nanda, the chief marketing officer at Vivid Learning Systems (OTC:VVDL), a Pasco online software company.

"We've got a great pool of talent we can draw from. Traffic's not an issue. You've got the cost of living; it's obviously lower. The weather, that's another benefit. You've got organizations like Pacific Northwest Laboratories out here, which provides a steady stream of engineers, Ph.D.s, people who have that kind of background."

Nanda says his company is "going through a very, very exciting time. We've got some plans for hyper growth and the plans are pretty much to be here. We don't see any particular hindrances to growing."

Hyper growth also describes what's happening here where the Columbia, Snake and Yakima rivers meet.

Pasco has been the fastest-growing city in the state since 2000, growing 57 percent to 50,210 people. Likewise, Franklin County (of which Pasco is the seat) was the fastest growing county in Washington during the same period, growing by 37 percent to 67,400 people.

Across the river, Benton County is the third-fastest-growing county in the state since the millennium, growing by 14 percent to 159,400. The population of West Richland grew by nearly 29 percent, making it the Tri- Cities region's fourth city with more than 10,000 people.

The job market is strong. Nearly one of every 10 jobs created statewide last year was created in the Tri-Cities metro area. The growth -- 4,900 jobs -- was greater than the total for Spokane and Yakima combined. The construction of a new nuclear waste treatment plant at Hanford added 1,000 high-paying jobs…

This press release was taken from excerpts of the June 2008 article of Washington CEO Magazine where Bryan Corliss is a senior writer.
