The city of Wenatchee was mentioned in an article dated November 3, 2010, in Slate Magazine titled "The Cities We Want Part I: Do we want urban spaces that are big or small? Spread out or compact? New or old?" written by Witold Rybczynski. It states: "Places such as Wenatchee, a hundred miles from Seattle at the eastern foot of the Cascade Mountains, are characterized by natural surroundings (deserts, lakes, mountains, rivers), moderate climates, and a degree or urbanity that belies their small size and their often remote location. (Wenatchee boasts a symphony orchestra, a community theater, and the Apollo Club, a men's choral group)." Follow this link to read the entire article. |
