Ellensburg
|
Population: 17,000
|
|
| |
Ellensburg, Washington is like an oasis with rivers, lakes, streams
and mature shade trees on the "dry" side of the Cascade Mountains.
Located in scenic Kittitas Valley, you can enjoy an abundance of
outdoor activities for any season. |

Kennewick/Pasco/Richland
|
Population: 55,000
|
|
| |
Kennewick, Pasco and Richland make up the Tri-City area, near the confluence of the Yakima and Columbia Rivers in southeastern Washington. At one time the dry, arid climate of this area hosted the largest concentration of Concord grape vines in the world. Grapes are still big business here |

Lake Roosevelt
|
|
|
| |
More than just another dam attraction, Grand Coulee dam is the
largest concrete structure in the United States. Built initially to
irrigate land in the region -- and the dusty desert landscape around
Grand Coulee suggests why this was so important when the project was
conceived in 1917 -- it also provides power to a lot of the Northwest.
In damming the Colombia River, Franklin D. Roosevelt Lake was
created, a 150-mile stretch of water garnished with campgrounds and
boat launches. With this much lake-room in which to maneuver,
house-boating is an understandably popular way to cruise. |

Leavenworth
|
|
|
| |
If you're hankerin' for a trip to Bavaria but can't swing the time off, stop in for sausages and sauerkraut in Leavenworth, 'Washington's Bavarian Village'. Located almost dead-center Washington, the city is a popular destination not only for the cuisine, the authentic architecture, and the flowers that line streets of shops during the spring and summer, but also the range of outdoor activities available year-round. While views from town may be of the Cascade Range instead of the Dolomites, Leavenworth offers the closest thing to an Alpine village this side of the Atlantic. |

|
Wenatchee
|
Population: 280,000
|
|
| |
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 Colombia 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: 75,000
|
|
| |
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. |
