There's a few of us, by the time you get here, the winds will have quit and it'll be so hot you'll wish you were back on the wet side. Where are you going to be working? Send me a PM if you'd like, we can meet up and hike some of the hills around here.
Like cousebitten said, there's a few of us. If you need any info getting settled in locally let us know; I too live in Kennewick. What kind of work do you do?
