On Tuesday, May 22nd, the Wenatchee Fire Department and Douglas County Fire District 2 had a controlled burn using an old house next to the New Life Center Church on the corner of 5th and Colorado in East Wenatchee. Apparently the fire got a little out of control when winds unexpectedly picked up. The Wenatchee World featured an article about the incident.Here are a few photos and some video

With no major networks broadcasting locally, most North Central Washington residents rely on cable or satellite for their daily dose of TV. With the Internet becoming more of a necessity than a luxury, most of us pay a monthly phone, TV, and now Internet bill. VOIP phone services like Vonage are allowing some to forgo the monthly phone bill in favor of a lower monthly bill for a service that

I am currently working on building a new business and website directory for the website. One of the features of the new directory is thumbnail sized images of all the websites listed in the directory. The directory currently has over 1,100 website listings and doing this manually was out of the question. So I found a great program that automatically fetches thumbnail images for me. I feed it a

Wenatchee joins Craigslist and it seems to be taking off pretty fast. I have glanced through Craigslist before but since it has never had a local page, I never really explored the website very much. For those who have never heard of Craigslist, it's a very popular community based classifieds website, and it's completely free!It features everything a regular classifieds would feature and a few you

The following article from the Wenatchee World, Possible ‘Apple Capital’ designs displayed, lets us see what the new designs to represent Wenatchee look like.My first thought, I need to learn how to make signs, seems to be a profitable business!Seriously though, my first suggestion would be to not add the population to the sign. Considering that the population is growing wildly out of control,

Little happened on this website last month, I have been deep in development of a new custom directory that will allow anyone to modify or edit the content, similar to the way Wikipedia works. It will allow businesses and websites to add information, descriptions, maps, and photos. The new directory also will allow businesses without websites to create a custom page for their business.Since I am

I just finished a new mapping feature for the services page. The new service allows you to pick a location on a map, adjust the map to your liking, and then write a description for your custom map. Once you have finished creating your custom map, you simply click the "View Your Map" button.The maps are by Google and feature high-resolution satellite images of many areas of North Central

A long overdue feature has just been added to the website. All large photos in the community and directory (Chelan, Douglas, Grant, Okanogan) sections have been reduced in size to fit into a standard window. All images that have been reduced in size now have the following message below them, "click image for full-size". Simply click any of these images to view it in it's original larger format.
