Need extra income for the holidays? These seasonal jobs in Tri-Cities offer $20 an hour

With Halloween in the rear view mirror, we are officially headed into the winter holiday season. This comes with many changes in Washington state, like lower temperatures, slicker roads and adjusted schedules. It also comes with a cultural change — a change of mindset, from costumes and candy to gift-giving, wish lists or religious traditions.

The holiday season is the most expensive time of year for many people. Along with the gifts purchased for everyone in their lives and hosting holiday gatherings, many Washingtonians are also spending more on things like travel and heat.

But worry not, there are jobs around the Tri-Cities area offering seasonal gigs for around $20 an hour in pay. Apply for one of these positions to support the community during a busy time, and support yourself amid holiday celebrations.
