Cane Quest Pacific Northwest is a regional orientation and mobility event for students who are blind or have low vision as young as 2-years-old through grade 12, organized and run by Richland School District. 

Developed by the Braille Institute of America, Cane Quest challenges participants to put their orientation and mobility skills to the test as they navigate routes through public streets and various stations at Leona Libby Middle School, guided by volunteers. The event empowers students while helping them build independence, confidence, and safety skills.
