LIVING IN WALLULA, WA
Wallula itself has a population of just 96, so daily life for plant employees centers on the Tri-Cities metro — Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland — roughly 30 miles north. That area has a combined population over 300,000, with median household incomes near $60,278 and home values around $227,800, both tracking close to national averages. The region is high desert, with over 300 days of sunshine a year, Columbia River recreation, and a growing wine industry in the Walla Walla Valley. Bend, Oregon, the nearest listed metro, is 185 miles west and not part of the commute picture. Cost of living in the Tri-Cities has risen with population growth but remains below Seattle and Portland levels, making it one of the more balanced places in Washington to earn an industrial wage.

ABOUT TYSON FRESH MEATS, INC

By fiscal 2025, Tyson operated roughly 200 facilities worldwide, employed about 133,000 people, and reported $54.4 billion in revenue.
