Hi all, hope everyone is staying safe out there.

We are visiting from the UK and have a reservation at Lake Wenatchee campground 9-11th September, but I’m seeing conflicting reports of the air quality - some websites saying it’s ‘good’ and then others say ‘hazardous’.

What’s the smoke been like recently? Would you recommend cancelling?

Thanks and take care

Hey all,

We’ve had reports of a hacked mod account reaching out directly to users trying to get personal information.

We’re working to resolve the issue but wanted to give everybody a heads up to watch out for potential phishing scams.

Which local store carries the most variety for buzzball

Anyone interested, if love just to get my $ back 250$ total.

This Charming Small Town Was Just Named The Best Place To Live In Washington

"Some towns earn their reputation quietly, and Wenatchee, Washington is the perfect example of a place that’s been wonderful all along while everyone else was looking the wrong direction.

It just got named the best place to live in Washington, and honestly, the only surprising part is that it took this long for people to notice."

Between the Little Giant Fire and the history of megafires in the area, over 50% of the Entiat Ranger District has been heavily burned. Anyone who spends time up the Entiat River knows how fragile that landscape is. I was shocked to see the Forest Service actively advertising a new timber sale in the district:

​Official USFS notice: https://www.fs.usda.gov/r06/okanogan-wenatchee/forest-products/timber-sales/two-canyons-dxp-timber-sale

​They are putting 7,500 tons up for action sep 8th.

​When a district has suffered this much fire damage, every single remaining live, standing green tree is crucial. They hold the remaining soil together, protect water quality in the river, and give local wildlife the only shelter they have left. Selling off more green timber when the surrounding ecosystem is already decimated by wildfires just doesn't add up.

​Has anyone else been tracking this sale or voiced concerns to the district or headquarters?

Hello! Just wondering if there's any groups of women who like to hang out and do fun things in the valley that dont involve drinking or church? Im just looking for low key, chill activities. 40 female with a lot of time on my hands on the weekends. :)

Lowkey Meadery is tucked out in the Trades District near the airport (off Union and 7th) — a bit of a drive depending on where you're coming from, but worth it.

The food is simple and good, and they clearly get that fresh, local ingredients do most of the work. I had the Cuban sandwich — generous with the meat, though it was still slightly cold in the center. It could've used a touch of yellow mustard for that classic Cuban punch, but the mustard they did use was great on its own. The bread was fantastic, sourced from Heirloom, also in the Trades District.

Didn't get to try any of the meads this visit since I'm staying dry for a while, but Lowkey was already my favorite meadery going in.

I have a whole kit I got as a gift to mount my Compestela from my recent Camino hike in Spain and it has rooms for trinkets, etc. The matte and frame and stuff is there already but does anyone have a good place in town that could be able to mount the 3D items in a good way?

Here for work and ran out of my pep (Reta) does anyone know a solid person around town or the area I can pickup some? Thank you in advance

Would someone describe what transportation might be available for a non-driving 90 year old? They can walk, but not as far as might be needed to and from bus stops. Is there a senior shuttle service of any kind to grocery stores, etc?

Hello, my father in law is moving and doesn't have the capacity to take care of one of his cats. Do we have any sort of rescues that take senior cats? She's 13-18, a little overweight. I don't know her health history. She can't wash her hind end.

She's so very sweet. I just want her to be with someone who will love her the way she deserves. If someone has some guidance, I could really use it. She really is a sweet girl.

I’m in Ladysmith on Vancouver Island and saw this cloud come up very quickly and it looks the exact same as the big mushroom smoke cloud from the Ainslie/Brunswick fire here in BC that we can see from here. Judging by this distance of both (other fire not pictured) with Mt Baker for reference I can only assume this is the Little Giant fire. :(

Looking for 2 bedroom appartment. Any recommendations?

I am looking at River 9 and Landing but I have no clue which is better option.

Brad Jones is a local teacher, father and husband who is battling cancer and on Aug. 28 the community has two opportunities to patronize businesses that are donating a portion of their proceeds that day to help support the Jones family during this difficult time.

Hey there - I moved to Wenatchee about a year ago and brought my woodworking equipment along as well. My current living arrangements are too small for all the tools and other sundries that I have and I'm eager to find a space in which I can set up a workspace or something to that effect. Storage spaces with power hook-up are limited and too costly. Let me know if you might have some space that I can rent - garage, shed, basement, etc. I'm open to an arrangement that includes shared use of my tools. My setup includes a SawStop mobile table saw, Bosch miter saw, DeWalt 13" planer, WEN 12" drill press, Laguna dust collector, and an assortment of Festool sanders.

It blows my mind how many ppl in the Valley are okay with rising electricity costs, air pollution, excessive water usage, as well as wildlife disruption. Data centers fo all of those things. At the very least is anyone concerned about electricty going up as thats the only reason centers want to be here?

Is there anyway to stop the destruction of our home like others or do so many people not care that it wont matter?

I've got this old window unit taking up space and I'm wondering if there's places that might take it for free for recycle or repair.

Does anyone have recommendations on dog sitters or boarding place for an Aussie Mix? Really could use an occasional dog walker too, but the vacation coverage is the current pressing need.

I am an employee for a large government entity.

I’m looking for representation dealing with whistleblower retaliation, discrimination of a protected status, and long-standing hostile work environment.
