Short Trips
WENATCHEE That loud crunch you heard last week was me at the Stemilt Fresh Fruit store in downtown Wenatchee biting into one of the first Golden Delicious apples to be harvested this year in the Wenatchee Valley. That first bite was worth the yearlong wait.
The valley came alive in earnest at the beginning of the month as orchardists fired up their tractors, and migrant workers fanned out through the more than 57,000 acres to begin the apple and pear harvest that usually runs through the end of October or the first week in November.
