How we enjoy our valley
Our family is outside every chance we get: biking, snowboarding, camping and paddleboarding all around the valley.
That's what I love most about living here. Within minutes of town you can be on the Apple Capital Loop Trail along the Columbia River, climbing the Sage Hills foothills, or watching the sunset from Saddle Rock. In winter, Mission Ridge is a short drive up the hill. In summer, Lake Chelan, Lake Wenatchee and the rivers are perfect for paddle boarding and camping, and Leavenworth is just up the canyon.
Wenatchee gives you sunny, four-season weather, a friendly small-town feel and real neighborhoods with mountain views, while still having the shops, schools, healthcare and restaurants you need. Whether you're raising a family, starting fresh or slowing down, it's a place where you can live well and play outside every day. I'd love to help you find your spot in it.
