I remember the concert at the Tri-City Center in Kennewick for Fats.
It was a bowling alley originally. After a fire, it was rebuilt and turned into a teen hangout/dance hall. It then became a grocery store. Today it is occupied by Walker’s furniture.
It is on the southwest corner of Morain street and Clearwater Avenue. He also performed at the Liberty Theater in Pasco, Washington (across the river from Kennewick). I was at that concert.

The posters at the second website are correct. In fact, Fats played several times in the 50s and 60s at Kennewick. I’ve interviewed Fats many times and wrote a biography on him in 2006 in day-by-day format with almost all of his tour dates listed from 1950 to 2007. I talk to him by phone at least once a year.
