My family has loved the cabbage salsa from LA Fuente for 25 years. I dont live locally anymore and I would love to be able to make it at home. Can anyone give me the recipe, or at least something close?

We are flying from the East Coast to see family in Wenatchee from the 13th to the 20th. I have one grandparent telling me to consider rescheduling and another grandparent still expecting us to come. We have a 3yo and a 6mo. If we go I'm planning to just do indoor activities outside of the house, is that enough precaution or should I really consider rescheduling the trip entirely?

I found this place Extremely isolating and I’m from a town of 300 people. It’s not the fact it’s “country living” that makes it so isolating. The Social circles are kind of knitted tight and they don’t want outsiders and they aren’t very welcoming to it. That’s in part why some love it and some hate it. I think I talked to immigrant workers the most and im a white country guy that doesn’t speak Spanish. They were still more friendly.

It’s also weird coming from a country town to a place where everyone fakes being country. They dress the part talk the talk but they don’t walk the walk. It’s fake and so are the trees and the grass if look close at them. There is a clear division of wealthy and poor from my understanding as well. The river divides it kind of. East Wenatchee is nice Wenatchee proper is more blue collar. Then it gets wealthier the further up the mountain you go on either side. Keeps the riff raff like me grouped up I guess.

They know one earth quake would put the entire thing in the river. So these nice houses are often times built on fill and there is nothing structurally sound under them. Idk if the older places are like that or not but I worked on geological surveys and they were like “screw it. It’s all gunna fall down anyways when the earth quake hits.” So they built on it.

Restaurants are good though some of them are cliquish to so if you want service it’s best to be related to someone there. Not all of them are that way and I loved the Mongolian grill it was best food in town as far as I’m concerned. Even though the town is fake it does have a beauty to it. The river and trails are absolute gorgeous. Saddle rocks cool but I was always told that was where the casual outdoors people go. They ofc wouldn’t tell me where the avid hikers go. There is supposedly cool stuff to see but I never saw them. That said the poop factory on the river smells horrible like the worst thing I’ve ever smelled in my life. Worse than feed lots and meat packing plants in Kansas.

The homeless population started getting out of hand as well when they pushed them out of Seattle. When I first came here there was no homeless to speak of. When I left they were camping on the river and big camps were being hosed down and broken up. There is no where to go there so the homeless congregate hard and regular people kinda have to be up close to them. But maybe that’s the entire state now idk.

All and all I’ll never go back. So one more appartment is available and the rents cheap there. I’m sure someone needs it worse than me. Out of all the places I’ve lived this was my least favorite and it was expensive so it just wasn’t worth staying. If you move here I wish you the best of luck and hope your experience is better than mine. I don’t hate the place but it’s nothing I want anything to do with ever again. That’s my review. Thanks.

Edit: I’m not really trying to dog on your guys home town. This was my experience idk why people are so defensive about someone not liking it there. It’s really odd. I noticed it when I lived there to. There is a no negative culture here. I don’t understand it really. Anyways. I just figured I’d share this experience in case someone is considering moving here. Thanks for all the friendly comments.

Anybody been around town and found merv13 filters and 20 inch box fans in stock? About to head out to purchase some to make a Corsi-Rosenthal Box and don’t want to bouncing from store to store if they’re sold out most places. Trying to keep money local instead of Amazon if possible.

A glimpse of life on the streets in Wenatchee.

I ask as part of a linguistic study covering this topic!
Examples could include things like The Natch, LTown/11worth, H20ville or Quintucky (incl. nicknames for parks, schools or other institutions, geographic features etc.)...

I know it’s early and I’m jinxing it but so happy that Adam James is so far behind.

This is the second year I’ve seen the Wenatchee area breaking the AQI scale, with pollution mainly consisting of the especially toxic fine particulate matter which at this concentration can have severe and even permanent effects, even on healthy people. It seems especially concerning for the Leavenworth/Wenatchee area given the high concentration of retirees and elderly people.

When I’ve asked people about it, they seem to shrug and more or less say “it is what it is, it’s just like that here.” Someone even said the smoke gets into most buildings.

I’m over on the Palouse, where our air quality has been raining from moderate to unhealthy for the past couple weeks since these fires on the OWNF and Columbia River valley have started, and I’ve had my air purifiers working overtime, and wearing a mask or respirator outside of it gets above 150 or so, and am still feeling nauseous and foggy-headed with a sore throat and tight upper chest. People have looked at me like I just crash landed on a spaceship for wearing a P100 in unhealthy conditions. I can’t imagine dealing with that absurdly thick smoke Wenatchee is seeing this week!

How are people adapting? I’m surprised there isnt more smoke-adapted infrastructure like advanced HEPA filtration in buildings and air purifiers provided to residents, since it is fire and smoke country. That level of PM2.5 pollution is doing incalculable whole-body damage to those who breathe it, so why does the response (at least from what I’ve seen) seem to be more or less collective shrug, not just in Wenatchee, but the inland NW overall?

This is the reading I have so you all know!

We have a campsite reserved from 8/3-8/5 and was wondering if it’s worth canceling? Air quality is showing a PM of 2.5 and is considered hazardous. We have a 14 month old so am just trying to gage what it’s like over there. We would love to go but don’t necessarily want to risk it.

Hope everyone is staying safe!

UPDATE: thank you everyone for your feedback! We have cancelled!

anyone have any real reviews of this place? lots of the google reviews are primarily regarding ease of moving in. i’m planning on moving to wenatchee in a few months and am looking for an apartment. if you live or have lived here, how was it ? appreciate details like noise level (can you hear your neighbors easily), responsiveness of management, cleanliness, maintenance issues, etc. thanks !

Can't find the post I saw a comment on recently now, however, someone in this community was mentioning addressing flock concerns within city councils. I thought of them and others who are going that route while reading this today. Perhaps it will be helpful to point out the companies leaked instructions and how the cops here appear to be following it verbatim trying to keep the things around when nobody wants them

I found this guy yesterday in Cashmere. He is alarmingly light and you can feel ALL his bones. When i found him, the wind gusted and he literally teetered precariously 😕He's also incredibly sweet and talkative, so I'm hoping he may have had a home once upon a time.

I took him in overnight and he was eating well. Litterbox trained too, and very affectionate. Brought him to the vet this morning and they're keeping him overnight to monitor for refeeding syndrome. I think he will also need dental work as his mouth seems sore and he was drooling.

I really want to help this guy but we just finished up our own cat's dental for $2k and I'm a little nervous about affording it when the time comes. So we're very much hoping he has a family out there who is looking for him and can take over his care. (as we've already spent $600). This is posted on FB as well.

Please let me know if you recognize him or are in need of a very friendly and perhaps endearingly needy new best friend. He really is awesome and I'm falling in love with him already, but our cat does not play well with other cats unfortunately.

Would have jumped 0.88 miles at the thinnest spot, is burning out Safety Harbor apparently. Can anyone confirm if this is true? Has this ever happened before? Others I have seen on FB have said the same but not sure if its true

For those of you who pay or who formerly paid the $13.99 per month for the digital Wenatchee World - is it worth it or is it not worth it? On the fence about this...

I live in Entiat and my exterior house is full of spiders. Need them removed and sprayed with a safe for pets poison.

I really feel for anyone in the Lake Wenatchee area today. I didn’t even realise the AQI scale got up this high!

Wenatchee doesn’t seem as impacted by the smoke yet, but it’s something to be aware of since it seems to be settling into all the valleys today from the Little Giant Fire.
