🌄 Why Wenatchee?

Because you don’t have to choose between nature and civilization.

Wenatchee sits in the heart of Washington State and offers an unbeatable mix of outdoor adventure and livable convenience. From skiing at Mission Ridge to paddleboarding the Columbia, the valley is packed with year-round recreation — all just a short drive from Seattle or Spokane.

It’s a small-town feel with big access: wineries, trails, live music, craft beer, and a tight-knit community that’s easy to plug into.
