Located very near the geographical center of Washington, the city of Wenatchee sits on the west bank of the Columbia River in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. A popular Downtown district along South Wenatchee Avenue serves as a major hangout for locals, with a huge specialty shopping scene, unique dining and nightlife options, and the Liberty Cinema, a multiplex theater housed in a historic brick venue.

The sprawling Wenatchee National Forest lies just outside of town, providing gorgeous scenery and putting you just minutes away from world-class hiking, skiing, and mountain biking. The city calls itself the “Apple Capital of the World,” and the annual Washington State Apple Blossom Festival attracts thousands of people from around the region every spring, with related events occurring year-round.
