Wenatchee and East Wenatchee is located at the confluence of the Wenatchee and Columbia rivers near the Eastern foothills of the Cascade Mountain range in the State of Washington.  The Apple Capital Recreation Loop Trail join's the sister cities, this 11-mile paved loop meanders along both the western and eastern shores of the Columbia River.

However, the "Wenatchee Valley" generally refers to the land between Rocky Reach and Rock Island Dam on both banks of the Columbia, which includes East Wenatchee, Leavenworth, Cashmere, Entiat, Rock Island, Malaga, and Three Lakes areas.

Wenatchee Valley is know as the "Apple Capital of the World" for the valley's many orchards, which produce apples enjoyed around the world.  The city was named for the nearby Wenatchi Indian tribe.  The name is a Salish word that means "river which comes from canyons" or "robe of the rainbow."  The City of Wenatchee shares its name with the Wenatchee River, Lake Wenatchee and the Wenatchee Nation Forest.

It is no wonder Wenatchee Valley contines booming real estate values.....with 300 days of sun shine a year, desert-like climate, and FOUR seasons!
