Tri-Cities has Washington state's lowest cost of living. "Across the board, everything is less expensive here," and the latest ACCRA Cost of Living Index agrees. Of the state's top five metro areas -- Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, Spokane, Tacoma, Yakima and Kennewick-Pasco-Richland -- the Tri-Cities remains the least expensive place to live.
In the third quarter of 2009, the Tri-Cities had a composite index of 92.1, compared with 93.8 in Spokane, 96.9 in Yakima, 107.7 in Tacoma and 121.7 in Seattle-Bellevue-Everett.
The Tri-Cities' composite index jumped from 88.6 in May, when it also was the state's lowest.
