WASHINGTON EAST

Washington East -

......east of the Cascades crest, the landscape undergoes a dramatic transformation. Jagged peaks and dense vegetation receded into a high desert plateau of pine-covered buttes, deep canyons and water-carved gorges. Sculpted by powerful geological forces, Eastern Washington is a place of big views and wide-open spaces. Several rivers run through it, including the fabled Columbia, which carved Washington's southern border into a colorful gorge with spectacular rock faces and forest-clad shores.

Washington East - Cashmere - Liberty Orchards -

Just after the turn of the century, a young Armenian named Armen Tertsagian emigrated from the Near East to the United States, working his way from Ellis Island across the rugged continent to the infant city of Seattle. There he met Mark Balaban, another young Armenian who was visiting from England. It wasn't long before the two became fast friends and decided to venture into business together. Mark and Armen packed up and headed for Eastern Washington. On the far side of Stevens Pass, nestled at the foot of the Cascade Mountains they found a valley carpeted with fruit orchards. It was here, in the fertile Vale of Cashmere that they settled, purchasing an apple farm which they named Liberty Orchards in honor of their new homeland. Today, Liberty Orchards has grown to be a genuine Northwest tradition and 80,000 yearly tourists come to Cashmere to visit the Country Store and tour the Candy Kitchens. And when they do, they don't find a large, impersonal factory... They find town folks making and packing Aplets & Cotlets much the same as Mark and Armen did all so many years ago.

One such man was George W. Finney, later known as the Founder of Odessa, who once homesteaded land upon which the town now stands. In 1892, the Great Northern Railroad was built through this part of the country, with a sidetrack known as the Odessa Siding. In order to attract settlers to the Odessa country and insure themselves of future success, the Great Northern Railroad offered immigrants free passage and the opportunity to obtain homesteads. By 1898, Mr. Finney, realizing the potential for a town, donated his land and platted the townsite. 80% of the immigrants settling in the Odessa area consisted of Germans from Russia.

Washington East - Okanogan Country - Winthrop - Freestone Inn & Cabins -

Located in the Methow Valley. In the early 1940's a local rancher and packer named Jack Wilson built six cabins along the banks of a local creek. Calling his new venture the Early Winter Resort, Wilson created not only one of the hardest to reach businesses in North America but also a piece of local legend. As word of Jack's hospitality and the spectacular beauty of the upper Methow Valley spread, his hunting, fishing and back country tours achieved a glowing reputation. So much so, that by the mid-60's people were coming from all over the world to visit Jack and indulge in the area's extraordinary allure. While some of those visitors may have thought the word "resort" was rather grand for six simple cabins, Jack's dreams were much larger. Once the highway opened and more people began visiting the area Jack planned to build a facility that would live up to the scale of the natural surroundings. Today, the Freestone Inn, Lakeside Lodges, and refurbished Early Winter Cabins keep that spirit alive. Renowned for their year-round comfort and appeal, the Inn, Cabins and Lodges exceed even Jack's imagination and provide the perfect get-away for not only the avid outdoors person, but also those who want nothing more than to simply relax.

Washington East - Tri-Cities - Columbia River Journeys -

Join us for an exhilarating tour of the Hanford Reach, the last free-flowing section of the Columbia River within the United States. As our twin-engine, shallow draft jet boats motor upstream, signs of civilization disappear. You enter the seldom-seen lands and waters of the "Reach", where coyotes outnumber people. Wildlife sightings are common. Giant White Pelicans (endangered in most portions of the West, but common on the Reach) gracefully glide by on ten foot wingspans. Trophy mule deer browse along the shores. Great Blue Herons, terns, beaver, porcupines and other species are often seen. You will see the ghostly, monumental hulks of long-silenced nuclear reactors -- the only visible signs of the top secret Manhattan Project, having the mission of producing bomb-grade plutonium during World War II and the Cold War. You may feel like the first people to travel into this remote area, but Native Americans lived along the Reach since the beginning of time. You will learn about these people and about the first non-Native American to visit the Reach, Englishman David Thompson, who canoed the Columbia from the Rocky Mountains to the sea in 1811. You will also learn about the settlers who founded the towns of Hanford and White Bluffs in the early 1900's, and those who followed. This is a tour far from mainstream America, generally inaccessible by road, accessible only by shallow-draft boat. Let us show you the beauty of the Reach.

Washington East - Wenatchee - Ohme Gardens -

Near Lake Chelan. Ohme Gardens, perched high on a rock bluff overlooking the Wenatchee Valley, is the achievement of sixty years of work by the Ohme family. Their efforts have gradually transformed the once barren hill into one of Americas leading gardens, visited by travelers from around the world. Unlike a formal flower garden, Ohme Gardens is completely natural in appearance, with emphasis on greenery. Patterned after high mountain country, the grounds have a quiet, restful beauty that isn't dependent on floral displays. The evergreen trees and low-growing plants have been blended with the existing rock formations to create effects varying from the lush growth of rain forest to the variegated patterns of an alpine meadow. Where once there was nothing but sagebrush and dust, there is now shaded fern bordered pools with trickling waterfalls. The once brown slopes are covered with a profusion of greenery. The weathered rock formations emerge from the carpet-like plantings. Groves of trees create shady glens and secluded hideaways, and complete the mountain setting. The stone pathways wander from one level to another, across irregular shaped lawns, to the blue green ponds, rustic shelters, the famous wishing well, and on to the highest point. Vista areas offer sweeping views of the Wenatchee Valley, Columbia River, and Cascade Mountains. Visitors may spend half an hour to half a day wandering in the serene, peaceful atmosphere.

Washington East - Wenatchee - Washington State Apple Blossom Festival -

The Washington State Apple Blossom Festival was a semi-autonomous division of the Wenatchee Chamber of Commerce, and is now an independent organization. It is the oldest major festival in the state of Washington. The Festival was born in 1919, the brainchild of Mrs. E. Wagner, wife of the district's first apple shipper, and a native of New Zealand. She enjoyed the festival of her childhood so much that she suggested beginning a similar festival in the Wenatchee valley. The Ladies Musical Club produced the first festival in 1920, and the first Apple Blossom Festival Queen was Fern Prowell who reigned over the festivities, then called "Blossom Days." The one-day event in Memorial Park involved songs, speeches, May poles, and baseball. Six festivals passed before the opening of the Stevens Pass Highway, Wenatchee's first direct link to Seattle. When Clyde Pangborn and Hugh Herndon made airborne history terminating the first non-stop, transpacific flight in 1931, fourteen festivals had come and gone. the Washington State Apple Blossom Festival now draws thousands of visitors from around the world during the last weekend in April and the first weekend in May. The festival is for 12 days.

"What makes for a good golf course. For one thing, it should be pleasing to the eye. One of the elemental joys of the game is being out of doors and walking around in an environment that is visually arresting, that smells good, where the air is clean. Swithen Bairn is certainly all of that, but the vistas are nowhere near as spectacular as, say those at the Kona Country Club in Hawaii or Desert Canyon in Washington State."
