• Can city now force tear down of burned-out Richland ‘junkyard' house? (tri-cityherald.com) — Richland officials are still relying on a court-ordered abatement to deal with the heavily cluttered, fire-damaged duplex at 2100 Pullen Street, despite a recent two-alarm blaze. The city has fenced off the property as an imminent safety threat, expanded cleanup contracts, and set August court dates that could finally allow a full government-led cleanup.
