Currently it has an Osborne fire finder, a wood burning stove, desk, cabinet and bed. It remains one of the highlights for hundreds of students who visit the site each spring. Goals for this lookout are to repair some of the exterior woodwork and paint it.

It was completed in 2010. The lookout was built at ground level, next to the office building, to be more accessible to visitors than the other lookouts.

]]>Our History
In 1929 Herman Ohme purchased 40 acres of land for an orchard. Included was a craggy, dry, desolate, rock-strewn bluff with a breathtaking view of the snow-capped Cascade Mountains and the shimmering Columbia River valley. Herman and his new bride, Ruth, loved to stand on the bluff and dream of flourishing alpine meadows, shimmering pools and shady evergreen pathways where the hot, relentless summer sun allowed only sage and scrub desert growth. They set their minds on achieving that dream.
Small evergreens were transplanted from the nearby Cascade Mountains, native stone was hauled to form paths and borders, desert sage gave way to low-growing ground cover, and pools took shape adjacent to massive natural rock formations. It was hard work, done mostly by hand, and truly a labor of love. In the beginning, sustaining the Gardens meant hauling water in five gallon buckets from the river valley below, but eventually the Ohmes constructed an elaborate irrigation system that pumped water to the site.
Initially intended as a private family retreat, the interest of friends and community members prompted the Ohmes to open the Gardens to the public. The Ohmes continued to perfect the Gardens for 42 years, until 1971 when Herman died at the age of 80. The couple's son Gordon and his family then assumed responsibility for the Gardens, and in 1991 Washington State Parks and Recreation purchased the Gardens and surrounding property. The Gardens are currently owned and managed by Chelan County.
]]>Today the airport is owned by the Ports of Chelan and Douglas Counties and operated by the Chelan Douglas Regional Port Authority. However, it wasn’t always this way. The airport was originally governed by the City of Wenatchee, which, in recognition of the regional importance and benefit of the airport, transferred ownership to the Port of Chelan County in 1965.
Improvements to reliability and capabilities include installation of an instrument landing system in 2006 and a lead in lighting system to improve winter reliability will be operational in late 2022. The airport’s primary runway (Runway 12/30) was extended to 7,000 feet in 2016 to accommodate larger mainline commercial aircraft like Boeing 737s and Airbus 320s. This multi-year, $30 million dollar project was funded with Airport Improvement Program funds and by the Ports of Chelan and Douglas Counties. The project was no easy feat as it required the purchase of several properties, relocation of Grant Road, and relocation of major utilities.
With the primary runway extension complete and significant improvements to the ramp and taxiways planned, the Pangborn Memorial Airport is equipped for a bright future. Efforts to secure a direct flight to the San Francisco Bay Area and other destinations in the west coast/mountain west are underway.
