Welcome to the Dispute Resolution Center of Tri-Cities

The Dispute Resolution Center of Tri-Cities offers professional mediation services to Benton and Franklin Counties, assisting those in conflict to reach mutually acceptable agreements. All agreements reached in mediation are legal and binding. The DRC also provides facilitation, education, and training to individuals, businesses, and organizations to enhance the skills necessary for managing and resolving conflict.  We have successfully mediated over 3000 cases. As a private not-for-profit organization, the DRC of Tri-Cities receives funding from a variety of sources, allowing charges for services to be much less than private mediators. The state of Washington provides core funding to help ensure that our services are available statewide to all courts and all citizens. Our purpose is to provide high-quality, low-cost professional mediation and training services to the courts and the community. We believe that communication is the key to getting conflicts resolved! We can help. Let us show you.

DIVORCING? There are some low-cost paths to getting there. Negotiate the terms of the divorce in mediation at the DRC, fill out the paperwork (available online), and have the Court Facilitator go over your documents with you. Then, wait for the 90-day waiting period to expire and file final papers. Call us at 509-783-3325.
