Visit Lake Chelan

One of the most popular places to

visit for those living in Western 

Washington is Lake Chelan.

It is located in North Eastern Washington.

It is about a four and a half drive from 

Seattle.   It is near Okanogan/Wenatchee 

National Forest. The city of Wenatchee 

is about an hour drive to Lake Chelan.

Lake Chelan is 50.5  miles long while

1.3 wide. It is the third deepest lake

in the United States. Only Crater Lake

in Oregon and Lake Tahoe are deeper.

Lake Chelan has a lot to see. There

are places to stay in the area. A

lot of people go boating too.

There are other places to visit in the

area as well. If you have time can go

up to British Columbia and Alberta 

as well.  Happy Travels.

Eastern Washington

Although I live in Western Washington 

the other side of the state going east

is Eastern Washington.

It is lower key than this side. Getting

to eastern Washington going interstate

I90 is the most common way to go. 

It all comes where you want to go.

Eastern Washington is colder than 

here in the winter while hotter in

the  summer. The temperature is

often 10 degrees difference whether

colder in the winter or hotter in the

summer.

Spokane is the largest city in Eastern 

Washington and the third largest in

the state. Going on I90 you will go 

right to Spokane.  There a large

number of lakes if you go north

near the Canadian border. 

Just like Western Washington there 

are a lot of places to see. All comes

down to how much time you have.

On the way to Spokane on the interstate 

after crossing Snoqualmie Pass there

is the town of Roslyn. If you remember 

the television show Northern Exposure 

that is where it was filmed. 

If you are into camping there are several 

places to camp out in the Roslyn area. 

Next time I will share more about Eastern 

Washington. Happy travels.
