For a few months a team with a giant inflatable 1,000 foot long water slide has been touring the nation and had plans to stop in to Seattle, Spokane, and here. If that isn't pure awesomeness, I don't know what is.

Unfortunately, the event, called Slide The City, couldn't get health permits from any of its Washington stops, so we don't get to enjoy the slide...awh. The permit issue, at least for the Tri Cities, is about the chlorine in the water getting into the Columbia River, which is bad.

At least we have a glimpse of optimism from the organizers, who promised that they will be back next year with permits and an even bigger better slide!
