Posh bridal boutique begins new era for a former Kennewick airport
Breezy white dresses. Airy windows. Floral arrangements galore.
Blueberry Bridal Boutique is officially open for business at the Port of Kennewick’s Vista Field.
Keller and the port held the official dedication Tuesday. With the snip of a pair of oversized scissors, the locally-owned bridal shop became the first business to set up shop at the former municipal airport in the heart of Kennewick.
It will be followed this spring by Kuki Izakaya Japanese Restaurant, which is under construction nearby.
“Amber was first,” said Tim Arntzen, the port’s executive director.
Keller wasn’t just the first to open her doors. She was the first to put money down on the port’s dream for Vista Field.
It is converting the 103-acre site into a modern mixed-used neighborhood packed with residences, restaurants and business.
The airport closed in 2013 and the port spent the intervening years creating a vision, demolishing runways and installing roads, utilities, trees and a linear fountain that provides a babbling ribbon of water down the center.
Keller bought into the vision and made plans to move her upscale boutique there.
In 2023, she made a deal to buy her site for $74,000.
In 2025, she broke ground on a 5,000-square-foot shop, backed by a loan from Baker Boyer Bank.
