work. Services include inpatient and outpatient
surgery, cardiac program, coronary and intensive
care, respiratory care, oncology, dialysis, neonatal
nursery, home health and hospice, regional trauma
emergency department, skilled nursing and rehabilitative

As you arrive in the Valley, you'll pass
miles and miles of lush green orchards –
apple, pear and cherry – cut by cascading
rivers snaking through semi-arid flatlands and
canyons. In spring, the craggy mountainsides are
carpeted in yellow, as the local wildflower, balsamroot,
blooms in unison.
As you enter the city
of Wenatchee, the snow topped Cascade Mountains
rise to the west and the mighty Columbia river
glitters to the east. Tree-lined streets lead to
the hub and life of our community – the award-winning
historic downtown.
Awarded the 2003 Great
American Main Street Award by the National Trust
for Historic Preservation, Wenatchee's downtown
is a mix of cultural activities, shopping destinations,
dining opportunities and outdoor experiences.
East Wenatchee (pop. 11,570)
Every evening,
East Wenatchee visitors are treated to one of nature's
most spectacular displays, as the sun sets over
the Cascade Mountains, radiating pink, orange and
purple streams across the horizon. To the east,
the moon rises over Badger Mountain and a blanket
of stars appear in the clear evening sky.
With Pangborn Memorial Airport, the Wenatchee Valley
Mall and 300 acres of riverside parks bordering
the Columbia river, you can spend an adventurous
day exploring this city on the east side of the
Valley.
If adventurous 'firsts' interest
you, East Wenatchee has a 'first' of its own. On
October 5, 1931, Clyde Pangborn and Hugh Herndon
Jr. landed in East Wenatchee after completing the
first non-stop trans-Pacific airplane flight originating
in Misawa, Japan. You can see a replica of their
famous plane, the Miss Veedol, at Ballard Park.
And to this day, Misawa, Japan, remains an active
sister-city with East Wenatchee, helping to create
the Bridge of Friendship Japanese Garden dedicated
to the historic relationship. |
