In the next few weeks are two big events that signal Spring at Lake Chelan. These aren’t the type of events you will hear advertised to attract visitors to come to town. They are all about local flavor. In their own way, they’re both parades.
The events are the St Patrick’s Day Top Dog Parade on Saturday the 20th and Metals Recycling Days on March 27th and April 3rd. I’ll explain how metals recycling is a parade in a minute!
That’s a picture from last year. Click on it to see more at the Chelan Historic Downtown Association web site.
Basically this parade is everybody, and their dog, getting together to walk though the couple blocks of downtown Chelan on the Saturday closest to St Patrick’s day each year. Well, not everybody walks through town, a lot of folks line the streets and cheer the others on. It is a big, silly social event that gets people gathering at 11:00 and home not very late for lunch. But, it gets everybody out and saying hello after the winter months and is a great way to usher in Spring!
Metals recycling day is a similar Spring event! It is also a parade, with folks lined up to drop off old metal stuff. You wouldn’t believe what people bring in! Since there’s usually a line, you get to wander and chat with other folks and comment on all the stuff everybody else brought while telling any stories that fit about your junk.
While neither of these events would qualify as extreme sports, which I will chat about later, these are great family fun in a little town where, kinda like Cheers, nearly everybody knows your name! This is some of the local color of a small town where most communication happens as you see people day to day. Real estate works the same way at Lake Chelan. If you want to really know what is happening, get somebody on your side who is immersed in the local scene. Whether it is Chelan or Tacoma, the folks who are involved in life are your best guides to a new area.
bustle of the Puget Sound Area and the fast-paced, techno- entrepreneur lifestyle, I have found the best commute is no commute. I can chat with you about how you can live the dream too. I could also be your real estate broker. But I’m not just any broker, I work with clients who appreciate marketing, really want to hear reality and get their business done. You won’t find anyone more honest or motivated to get your needs met. My company is a boutique independent real estate agency, Criterion Properties, LLC. I have a degree in engineering. I have 30 years of business, investment, marketing and technical experience. Plus, I do some real estate development of my own and know the process! As a citizen and business person, I participate in public process surrounding land use in both Chelan County and the City of Chelan.
What does this mean to you the potential home
