Wenatchee Valley Running on Burch Mountain

We are at a confluence of two rivers, the rushing Wenatchee and the mighty Columbia in a land enveloped by the foothills and towering peaks of the Cascades. We are a place where the earth s geology is ever present. We have harnessed the power of our waters to power the west and cultivated our valley to give the world fruits from our orchards and wine from our vineyards. The spirit of our people is the result of a place that knows how to produce. We put faith in the land to make the harvest each year and have innovated ways to share our bounty across this nation and world. Our innovation does not stop with the land; we invest in our children and believe that education is the key to our future success. We live a life of abundant choices. Underneath sunny skies we take to the slopes, the rivers, the trails, and the loop to ski, kayak, hike, and bike. Our streets and trails are filled with sculpture bringing art to our people. We are a small town to some and big city to others. But to all, whether visitor or local, we provide a way to escape from everyday routines. We are a place where a choice made history on the first transpacific flight. We are a place where a community chose to rally behind a vision to build a dam that would free the west.? We have made a choice to embrace the future through our past in a building twice scrapped that will emerge as a market that will bring us together.? The choices here are as plentiful as the orchards are fruitful. We invite you to choose this place; to visit, to explore, or to stay. We are Wenatchee, Washington.

Events, Inc. “Mayor Frank Kuntz asked me if I wanted to see if I could get the fireworks back into the program and that… Read More >>>>

Mexican Mole: A Rich and Regional Traditional Sauce

I wish I could remember the first time I had mole. Even though the specific moment doesn’t stand out, I do know that I never looked at Mexican food the same once I had it. Mole (pronounced mole-LAY) is a thick, rich sauce used in many regions of Mexico. Although generally its primary ingredient is dried chiles, the type of chile and the number of different chiles varies widely depending on its origin and the recipe. (Fun fact: in Mexico, chiles have different names depending on whether they’re fresh or dried).… Read More >>>>

Did you know Ohme Gardens is 89 years old - Oh MY indeed!

Each year, my eight-year-old son and I make a "bucket list" of things we want to do over the summer and visiting Ohme Gardens is always on it. My son loves exploring the wandering stone pathways, towering turret-like viewpoints, and imagination-inspiring ponds. Personally, I adore the story behind the flowered alpine meadows, rolling lawns, and shady evergreens that stand out like a lush green citadel on the side of a barren, rocky hill. Read More >>>>
