I do love Western Washington, but I must admit there is a place in Central Washington which entices me. Lake Chelan boasts of being 50.5 miles around, according to the Lake Chelan Chamber of Commerce. Is this really a lake? Yes, it is!
The breath taking view surrounds you no matter where you are on the lake. You see majestic snow capped Mountains peeking down. The hills nearby used to be filled with apple orchards, they now overflow with grape vines.
Swimming in the clear waters of the lake is very appealing. Water skiing across the surface of the lake is exhilarating. In fact, it is difficult to leave the Chelan Valley with all its beauty. When you are there you start dreaming about selling your house and moving to this tranquil location. However, when you price the houses near the lake reality sets in as you discover most of the houses right on the lake run a cool one million dollars. Ouch!
Very beautiful pictures. Specially 2nd and 4th. Nicely written description.
ReplyDeleteI been to Switzerland and people say Washington is pretty like Switzerland and now I see why.
Gorgeous pictures! I live on the East Coast and am always amazed by the beauty of the water.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the blogathon! I'm also bloggin' everyday. Surely keeps you on your toes!

This sounds great! I love Washington, and was just saying to friends yesterday that it's one of the places I would really love to live. Thanks for the great post!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely pictures, Anjuli! I'm not surprised the houses on Lake Chelan are so expensive, but it sounds like a beautiful vacation or day trip spot. Thanks for introducing us to it!
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of Lake Chelan. Thanks for the introduction. Here on Cape Cod we have kettle ponds, created by a glacier. People always think they are lakes at first glance.
ReplyDeleteA- yes it is gorgeous here. I've never been to Switzerland, so I'm not sure about the comparison. I do know I love it here.
ReplyDeleteRachel-Good luck on the blogathon as well. I'm heading over to your blog right now to cheer you on :)
Joan- I can definitely vouch for Washington State (at least Western Washington) as being a great place to live.
Jen-Glad you enjoyed the pictures!
Alexandra- many parts of the lake have been created by glaciers- I'll have to do more research to see if this really constitutes a lake, as its name suggests.
