Rufus Woods, editor and publisher of the Wenatchee World, is raving about E3!
In a recent article he explained a little more about the purpose of E3:
Here’s how it’s supposed to work. They’ll recruit 10 people from the region who are already going to the Olympics and who are willing to be ambassadors. They will form the E3 Army, according to Korfiatis and Granstrom. Armed with a brightly colored hat, trading pins, brochures and a free video camera, they’ll look for opportunities to encourage Olympic visitors to travel south and see what this area has to offer.
The Seattle Times’ Mike McQuaide recently wrote about his trip down Devil’s Gulch – “the trail Northwest mountain bikers swoon about.” McQuaide writes:
According to many sources, the Devils Gulch Trail, just outside Cashmere, is one of the top — if not the top — mountain bike rides in Washington. Hard-packed single track, a spectacular Central Cascade setting, long sweeping turns, and crazy-fast switchbacks (on the descent) are just a few of its calling cards.
Recently the Wenatchee World has had a lot to report about when it comes to local skiing in North Central Washington. The upcoming Olympics in Vancouver is already bringing in top-tier athletes from around the world and Mission Ridge heats up the slopes. Read these articles from the Wenatchee World:
Wanna know the best places to live in America? You’re in luck. National Geographic publishes a list for outdoor enthusiasts every year with some of the best places in America.
On the list in 2007 was North Central Washington’s Wenatchee! National Geographic says:
…the friendly town is perfectly in sync with the region’s outdoor-centric values. It’s parked in prime alpinist territory, at the foot of the Cascades and on the edge of 4.1-million-acre (2-million-hectare) Okanogan and Wenatchee National Forest.
