Chelan County Reviews
Rating 3.6 out of 5 5 reviews
It is the most beautiful and friendly place to grow up in nothing like the city. There are so many outdoor activities with the comfort of stores within walking distance. However, its been recently wanting to expand and I'm afraid it's gonna loose that small-town feel to it.
This area is so very natural beautiful Lake Chelan formed gradually over millions of years with the rise of the Cascade Mountains. Today about 100 glaciers are liberally sprinkled on the peaks draining into Lake Chelan. These glaciers store water through the summer, which helps irrigate the productive fruit orchards in the lowlands Native Americans probably inhabited the lower Lake Chelan Valley for thousands of years prior to its “discovery” by pioneer trappers, explorers, and prospectors in the 1800s. The Native Americans were called the “Tsillane,” later spelled Chelan, meaning ‘deep water.
I love the friendly small town atmosphere. During the summer the lake is a beautiful and relaxing place to hang out on hot summer days. It's not to bad at night either. Something that would be nice to see in Chelan is better paying jobs and affordable housing for those who living here all year long.
