Chelan County

Pick any town in Chelan County and find a treasure. Chelan County offers tight knit communities with extraordinary opportunities for both outdoor recreation and industry. Wenatchee, the county seat, is considered the “Apple Capital of the World” based on its orchards of bountiful fruit harvests. Nearby, the fairy-tale town of Leavenworth offers year-round recreation for the whole family. Modeled after an Alpine Bavarian village, the entire town offers visitors a trip back through time (and location) with monthly festivals like the ever-popular Oktoberfest. And not too far away is Cashmere—a small town of only 3000 people—set in the center of climbing history, where some of America’s first technical climbing routes were established in the Peshatin Pinnacles by Fred Beckey. No matter which town in Chelan County you decide to call home, you’ll find wholesome activities, outstanding views of the Cascade Mountains, and friendly like-minded neighbors.
