A section of George Washington Way in Richland will be closed from 6 p.m. Friday, July 10, until 7 p.m. Sunday, July 12, to accommodate the ninth annual See3Slam basketball tournament.
The closure will affect only that portion of the road, while local businesses can still be reached from Swift Boulevard to Newton Street, ensuring that shoppers and diners retain access.
See3Slam is a 3‑on‑3 basketball competition that welcomes players of all ages, from youth teams to adult leagues, and includes exhibition matches, center‑court contests and a full slate of live entertainment.
Organized by the Tri‑Cities SunRise Rotary, the event is promoted on its official site, see3slam.com, which also provides details on registration, schedules and sponsor information.
In addition to the games, the weekend will feature a variety of food vendors, local musicians and other live performances, creating a festive atmosphere that draws families and sports enthusiasts alike.
Charity and Community Benefits
All ticket sales and donations generated by the tournament will be directed to charitable causes benefiting the surrounding community, reinforcing the Rotary’s long‑standing commitment to service.
The funds raised through the tournament are earmarked for a range of local charities, from youth programs to health initiatives, helping to address needs that often go under‑funded.
Organizers expect the event to attract hundreds of participants and spectators, boosting foot traffic for nearby merchants and highlighting Richland’s vibrant community spirit.
