Why Wenatchee Is The Place For You!

Wenatchee is a scenic, sunny Columbia River city of 33,000, 150 miles east of Seattle on the very dry side of the Cascade Mountain Range. If you like getting outside and adventuring, you can do that 365 days a year and do nearly every sport and extreme sport out there. Hot in summer with lots of sunshine and cold in winter with lots of snow, there are a lot of opportunities for outdoor activities (such as walking the Apple Capital Recreation Loop Trail) and skiing, snowboarding, and other winter activities.

This fair city has a fairly low unemployment rate (4 percent in June), a manageable if not dramatically low cost of living and has a median home price of $225,000. There is a very vibrant arts scene including both visual and performance art and live music. Wenatchee also has wineries, breweries, and shopping to keep you entertained.
