It is at the east end of Lee Boulevard in the center of Richland on the river side of the levee and is accessible from several roads leading off of George Washington Way.

The 60-ton structure was inspired by boats on Lake Washington adjacent to Seattle and was formerly an office building for a construction company where Interstate 182 currently runs.
[12] The Tumbleweed Music Festival, which began in 1997, is held every Labor Day weekend at Howard Amon Park.
This mostly-free event features several music varieties, including bluegrass, Celtic and folk at five different stages.
