r/Wenatchee

Headed to the campground tomorrow for a few days. We’ve never been to Lake Wenatchee. With how hot it’s going to be, is lake temp swimmable?
Dreading the mosquitos, but coming armed with bug spray and other forms of deterrent…
Any suggestions on things to do with two kids (7 and 8) greatly appreciated!

I just talked to RiverCom about an issue and the dispatch lady said law enforcement is aiding in evacuations as a priority - does anyone have details on this?

Best place to watch Mexico’s game on Sunday? Or games more generally?

Has anyone watched games at Top Thai, Liberty Cinemas, Yonder, or Jefes?

Open to suggestions from Wenatchee to Leavenworth.

Title says it all-we just want do a little paddling for a couple hours on Friday/Saturday. Don’t really want to go up to Lake Wenatchee.
Also are there any “beach “ areas where we can chill au naturel for a bit?

This tracks. The Wenatchee World doesn’t seem to report on this from what I have seen.

Hey all, driving over from Seattle on Friday morning and heading back Sunday evening, so I've got Friday afternoon, all of Saturday, and Sunday morning to work with. First time spending a holiday weekend out there and could use some local advice.

What I'm hoping to find:

Good food, anywhere from casual to a nicer sit-down dinner. Bars, breweries, or restaurants with a solid non-alcoholic beer and cocktail/mocktail selection. Scenic + relaxed things — Lake Chelan day trip, the riverfront, anything happening for the 4th? — fireworks, events?

Any must-not-miss experiences — the kind of thing you'd regret skipping if you were only here for one weekend

Also trying to figure out Leavenworth since it's right on the way: Better as a quick stop on the drive in Friday, or worth a half-day on Saturday/Sunday? Will the holiday crowds make it more of a headache than it's worth?

Appreciate any local favorites or hidden gems. Thanks!

Anyone know of some 15-45ft cliff jumping spots around Wenatchee, Leavenworth, lake Wenatchee, fish lake area?

We're looking to possibly buy a house in the next few months and are wondering if anyone might have some good recommendations!! Or anyone to steer clear of! Thank you in advance 🙂

hi! my work has an office in wenatchee and there's talk of transferring me here. i'm interested & i like what i've seen of wenatchee, but in pricing it out i have a few specific questions about cost of living & other details that have been hard to find good info about online.

cost of living

- do most of the newly built apartments include water/sewer/trash? if not, how much does that usually cost?

- what are yall paying for electricity? i'm looking at 1bd places, usually under 500 square feet (mostly been looking at the new construction)

- how much is internet and who are you getting it from?

- what kind of "going out" expenses do you have? i have two separate budget line items for "going out to eat" and "events/activities" & i'm specifically wondering about events/activities. is there cool stuff happening in town? is it free? how much are shows, movies, etc?

- any big hidden expenses that someone coming from out of town might not anticipate or fully understand? (for example, i'm currently in western WA and have to take ferries all the time)

other questions:

- dog stuff: where's the good dog park? good off-leash hiking areas? good car vacuums?

- housing: are all the new/newish apartment buildings in town okay? they look nice and it seems like there are still a bunch going up.

- social scene: i'm a single, mid-career type & i don't know anyone here except my coworkers. not necessarily looking to date, but are people friendly? looking for friends? willing to talk to you at the bar?

appreciate any thoughts you may have!

Anybody else keep having their power go out? It was out last night around 1, and now it's gone off and on about 4 times in the past half hour.

I’ve lived here all my life but haven’t been able to find any “coffee shops” per se to go in and settle down to get some work done besides Starbucks. Any help would be appreciated!

Any realtor to recommend willing to list for 1%?

Not looking for a club or range i have to pay for. Only end up siting in my glass or practicing a few times a year. Is there anywhere just outside of town?

Wenatchee folks, we're back at it tomorrow night. ADHD Support Group meetup at Epoch Game Lounge, 16 S Wenatchee Ave, 7 to 9pm.

Skipped last month, life got in the way like it does, but excited to get the group back together. It's casual: board games, good conversation, zero pressure to be "on." Solo attendees, regulars, first timers, all welcome.

If you've been curious about this group but never made it out, tomorrow's a great night to try it.

Anyone planning to swing by?
