About Wenatchee, Washington

Wenatchee is a city of 35,508 people and the county seat of Chelan County, where the Wenatchee River meets the Columbia. Samuel C. Miller and the brothers Franklin and David Freer had hauled freight by horse and mule to the Idaho mines, and in 1871 or 1872 they opened a trading post here. In 1891 Judge Thomas Burke of Seattle and other investors formed the Wenatchee Development Company and bought land near this first settlement, expecting a railroad to come through. That line failed, so the company laid out a new townsite on a different route, traded lots and helped settlers move. The Great Northern Railway reached it on October 17, 1892, and Wenatchee was incorporated that December.

The valley got little rain, and the narrow benches along the river were too small for grain to pay. Philip Miller, born in Germany, came in 1872 and planted the first apple trees, which did well. In 1904 William Timothy Clark, backed by Burke and the development company, finished the 16-mile Highline Canal, which watered 9,000 acres. Orchards spread across that land, and the town that had called itself the "Apple Capital of the World" since 1902 became the center of the nation's apple country.

  • Winning the county seatUntil March 13, 1899, the land that is now Chelan County was split between Kittitas and Okanogan counties, and Wenatchee had a hard time reaching either courthouse. When the new county formed, Chelan and Wenatchee both wanted to be its seat. Wenatchee pointed to its place on a transcontinental railroad, and Burke's company tipped the contest by donating land for a courthouse. Wenatchee won.
  • The bridge of 1908Before 1908, ferries carried people across the Columbia at Wenatchee. That year a bridge was finished to carry Highline Canal water over the river, and it took vehicles too, the first such crossing of the Columbia in the United States. A new four-lane bridge followed in 1950, and the old one now carries walkers and cyclists on the Apple Capital Loop Trail.
  • The Saga of WenatcheePeggy Strong painted the oil-on-canvas mural The Saga of Wenatchee in 1940 for the post office, under a Treasury Department art program that ran from 1934 to 1943. The U.S. Post Office and Annex is on the National Register.
  • Apple Blossom FestivalEach spring, from the last week of April through the first week of May, Wenatchee holds the Washington State Apple Blossom Festival. A youth parade fills the streets on April's last Saturday, and the main parade follows on the opening Saturday of May. The festival also has a food fair with dishes from around the world and a traveling carnival.
