Entiat, WA

Set right along the Columbia River midway between Wenatchee and Chelan, Entiat offers a quiet, sunny spot to settle down with beautiful water views. The town moved to higher ground in the 1960s when the Rocky Reach Dam formed Lake Entiat, creating a great backyard playground for local boaters, anglers, and paddleboarders. Surrounded by apple orchards and rugged hillsides, the community maintains a relaxed pace where neighbors know each other and the schools sit right in the center of town. It makes for an easygoing home base with convenient access to everything North Central Washington has to offer.
