Wenatchee is the largest city in Central Washington. The splendor of the valley surrounds us! We have the confluences of the Wenatchee and Columbia Rivers, breathtaking geological formations, a variety of well maintained parks, including the Apple Capital Loop Trail with its 11 miles of paved trails along the Columbia River. Forested land for hiking, snowmobiling, or mountain biking. Mission Ridge Ski Resort is only 12 miles from downtown. We also have an abundance of fruit grown in our local orchards and vineyards.
All wrapped into four distinct seasons with 300 days of sunshine each year!
There is no better place to live, work and play!

Brief History:
The Wenatchee area was established in 1899. By 1892 the Great Northern Railway completed its line to Wenatchee. This resulted in growth and new economy to the valley. With the creation of the Highline Canal and the Columbia River Irrigation Project in the turn of the twentieth century, the valley was soon to become one of the world's largest apple, pear and cherry producers. |
