Moses Lake
|
|
|
| |
Moses Lake appears unexpectedly in the middle of central Washington's flat farm country. The smell of earth and onions follows you into town on a warm day, the 18-miles of shimmering lake, named Chief Moses, lures visitors further on mid-summer. Local attractions revolve primarily around bird-spotting and bird-hunting. Moses Lake is located on the Pacific Flyway, the migratory waterfowl route of the west. Vast stretches of water used for irrigation often teem with waterfowl during the winter months. |

Wenatchee
|
Population: 280000
|
|
| |
Wenatchee is all about apples. An early settler planted the first apple orchard in 1872 ala Johnny Appleseed and the region has remained fruitful ever since. Located on the west bank of the Columbia River, Wenatchee gets a lot of sunshine so most visitors head for Walla Walla Point Park or Rock Island Hydro Park to take a dip in the river or put in a boat. In town, rent bikes and follow the Apple Capital Recreation Loop Trail along the river. |

Yakima
|
Population: 75000
|
|
| |
Sunny Yakima sprawls around the confluence of the Naches and Yakima
Rivers. The tawny, dry hills that surround the city belie the
fertility of the area. Central Washington's commercial hub, Yakima's
climate and rich soil enable an extended growing season. Apples,
pears, peaches, grapes, apricots, cherries, mint and hops are produced
in Yakima, and then shipped on nationally. A number of wineries are
open for tastings a short way out of Yakima. If you're after rather
some physical activity, the rivers are the place. Stop in at Eschbach
Park, rent an inner tube and kick back for a float down the Naches.
Or, do some catch-and-release fishing in Yakima River Canyon for
rainbow trout and a spin around in a ski boat. |
