Re: Rosauers

Rosauers has an excellent selection of organic produce but if you're looking for local—stop by Glover Street Market (or the Farmers Market through October). There maybe other outlets for local produce. Please feel free to mention them. We're lucky to have the selection of produce in our small commun...

A Year Ago This Week

It was certainly much hotter a year ago. Last year, September 2nd and 3rd both hit record highs of 100 degrees F. The forecast is for much cooler temps today and tomorrow as well as a good chance of rain overnight and into tomorrow. We can sure use it. Some predictions are calling for a "super" El N...

Re: FYI - Fire District 6 saved our butts and more - AGAIN

Not sure if these words are adequate, but I'd also like to express our family's gratitude to the volunteers and staff of our Fire District.

It's located in Chelan County, W of Nineteenmile Campground and the Chiwawa River. There are photos of a dramatic ...

Highway Roundabouts

We don't travel too often out of the Methow Valley but several destinations include navigating roundabouts. The Seattle Times currently has an informative article describing roundabouts in WA State and nationwide. There are currently 607 roundabouts in WA State, the fourth highest number in the coun...

Re: Handyman looking for work, based out of Twisp (509) 269-5644

Josiah did an excellent job installing metal screening over vent holes in rafter blocking on a property we own. Once he understood what the job entailed, he finished ahead of schedule and communicated well during the process. Definitely recommended.
