LAKE CHELAN, WASHINGTON

NESTLED IN A VALLEY OF EASTERN WASHINGTON

NATURAL MAN MADE LAKE WITH CRYSTAL BLUE WATERS

Lake Chelan is a favorite summer vacation spot for local Washingtonians.  To escape the rain in Seattle, people flock to Eastern Washington to see the sun shine and enjoy the heat of summer.  While vacationing in Lake Chelan this past summer, I was able to snap some shots of the sunset beyond the mountain range while sitting on the dock outside our Lake Chelan Resort.

 Lake Chelan WA waterfront

As a child, I remember the Fourth of July vacations to Lake Chelan.  We were able to swim in the Lake and head downtown to enjoy ice cream and ride the bumper boats.  It has been several years (more like a decade) since I have visited Eastern Washington and I was amazed at the growth Lake Chelan has encountered.  Downtown Chelan was bustling with tourist visiting the local boutiques and the weekly farmers market.  Stop in All Fired Up located at 109 S Emerson St Chelan, WA to create your own Lake Chelan vacation memories out of ceramics.  Chelan has recently seen the big box store - Wal-Mart become part of their city. Real Estate in the local area is heavily marketed towards Seattle residents looking for a second vacation home or retirement home. Condo's are lining the water banks while across the Lake you see the beautiful lake front homes built into the side of the mountains.

 

If you are relocating to the Lake Chelan area or considering a second home purchase,  Al Lorenz  publishes local real estate information for the Lake Chelan and surrounding areas.

Robert:  Did I do something wrong?  Am I within the groups guidelines? My friend just told me about the clouds group and I thought I would join since I have hundreds of shots of clouds.  My other half thinks it silly that I take pictures of clouds but I find it relaxing to view later on.  I am trying to figure out what settings are the best to capture what I really see!  Any suggestions?  Thank you!

Michelle, right now there are no guidelines to the clouds group or express with photographs at active rain. You did nothing wrong and I am the founder of both groups so if you have any questions let me know. Your photos are wonderful and keep them coming.

Very well presented. I love the way the mountains appear to make steps down to the water. It's so different than flat Florida ;)  And the water in Lake Washington is such a beautiful bar.

LISA: Yes, the beauty in Washington state is breathtaking.  The Lake Chelan area is another great place to visit while in WA.  Everyday and every night the sky is different.  I love the pinks, purples and oranges during the sunset.  Flordia has the sandy beaches and endless ocean views.
