Click here is you missed Part 1 or Part 2

O: Ohme Gardens: From high upon a bluff overlooking the beautiful Wenatchee Valley is Ohme Gardens.  Originally intended as a private family retreat for the Ohme family, interest of friends and community members prompted them to open the Gardens to the public in 1939.  The Ohme family owned the property until 1991 when Washington State Parks & Recreation purchased the gardens and surrounding property.  It is currently owned and operated by Chelan County.   It is a popular spot for weddings and many other events.

P:  Parks:  There are over a dozen community, county and state parks in the immediate Wenatchee area.  The Wenatchee Department of Parks and Recreation has lots of information on their website about the local parks, pool, and community events.

Q. Quandry:  The Quandry is what to do with your spare time in Wenatchee.  So many choices, so little time!    Ok, so it's not that easy to come up with activities that start with the letter Q but Quandry seemed like a good option! 

R: Rafting:  The Wenatchee River, running a windy 53 miles from beautiful Lake Wenatchee into the Columbia River at the north end of Wenatchee, is a very popular site for whitewater rafting from April thru August.  Most of the actual rafting takes place between Leavenworth & Cashmere.  There are about 5 different companies offering whitewater river rafting in the Wenatchee area.  Just do an internet search for "Wenatchee River rafting" and you will get lots of choices.

S: Sunshine:  The obvious choice for this category is our 300 days of sunshine.  We don't always have sunshine, but we have a lot of it!  Most of the days without sunshine are in December and January, but there are lots of activities in the area for those days too.

T: Town Toyota Center:  In spite of the financial controversy surrounding this facility, it has been a wonderful addition to the community.  We now get some seriously good programs and concerts IN Wenatchee.  The Town Toyota Center website touts "World Class Entertainment and High Impact Sporting Events.

Enjoy!
