Wenatchee, Washington Overview

Wenatchee sits in the center of Washington's apple-growing region, a distinction celebrated annually at its Apple Blossom Festival in late April/early May. The city is located along the confluence of the Wenatchee and Columbia rivers near the eastern edge of the Cascade Mountain range, making it an outdoor playground with an abundance of activities such as hiking, whitewater rafting, and skiing. A visit to the Rocky Reach Dam or the Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center provides insight into the history and industry of the area, while Ohme Gardens is an evergreen oasis in the heart of the region - and offers amazing views of the Cascade Mountains. Visitors to Wenatchee can also visit a working candy factory, the Aplets & Cotlets Candy Kitchen; or bike, walk, or jog the popular Apple Capital Loop Trail.
