Chelan
|
|
|
| |
Small town Chelan is located at the tail-end of Lake Chelan, east of
the Cascades. With mild temperatures and 55-miles of recreational
water, the area is a popular destination in the summer. One of the
deepest lakes in America, Lake Chelan is slow to warm to swimming
temperatures, but recreational boaters and fisherman aren't usually
deterred. Reel in salmon, trout, bass or burbot and throw some fresh
fish filets on the grill for dinner. Book a guide for some angling
time on the Colombia River if you don't have access to your own boat. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

|
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. |
