We explored Wenatchee today, driving from top to bottom and discovered that this agricultural based city is a first class fruit processing machine. It’s also the county seat of Chelan county, so there’s a bit of government activity.
On our way into town we got a good view of some of the orchards that line this valley. Not only a multitude of varieties of apples are grown here, but also pears and cherries, due to the dry climate and temperate conditions.
Wenatchee is also at the confluence of the Wenatchee river and the Columbia river. There is a wonderful state park at the actual location with some 13 miles of paved ttrails, swimming areas, and of course boat launches.
One of the oldest fruit warehouses in Wenatchee has been repurposed as a unique market, with craft shops, meat markets, olive oil vendors and restaurants. We had to visit and shop at the Pybus Public Market!
