They even designed a television game show around it, Wheel of Fortune. Don’t forget that you can play it right here at NCWpics too, the only thing different is that with North Central Washington Hangman all the puzzles are geographic places, activities, and other things associated with the North Central Washington area. Have fun and play it over and over again!

Magnetic Poetry is a common activity that you normally find on someones refrigerator. It consists of little magnetic word tiles that you manipulate to form original poetry that you compose. In our version of it here, it is all on your computer screen. One of the best poetic efforts we’ve seen lately is:

“Lake Wenatchee is offensive in the summer and a burrito shouldn’t burp the alphabet”

Whoever it was that left that one, thanks a bunch!

So, what kind of creativity do you have? Check out our NCW Magnetic Poetry and show us what you’ve got.

Even many local people don’t know this, but Chief Joseph Dam is the second leading producer of hydroelectric power in the country.

With Grand Coulee Dam just upriver, Chief Joseph Dam is often overlooked but is a vital part of the local power grid. Nearby is Bridgeport State Park and also a golf course.

A trip to Chief Joseph Dam makes for a nice day trip.
