NCW Photo of the Week: The Okanogan Bingo Casino
Located in Okanogan in North Central Washington, the Okanogan Bingo Casino is a top draw in the area. This is a fun area with a very unique terrain around it too. The Okanogan River flows right through town and one of the main highways, US97, heads north from there to Canada and south to the city of Wenatchee and eventually Blewett Pass.

NCW Photo of the Week: No Water Flows Through The Chelan Dam
The Chelan Dam is unique in that sometimes water flows through it and sometimes it doesn’t. This is not so much the case anymore, but it was once the norm to see the short Chelan River channel that speeds down the hillside to the Columbia River bone dry. Here is a look at the Chelan Dam with no water flowing through it.

NCW Photo of the Week: Veterans Park in Wilson Creek, Washington
Wilson Creek is a very photo friendly little community located in the eastern reaches of North Central Washington. It is a great stop for those making a road trip through the region. The architecture of the downtown area is also very interesting to look at too. Here is a look at Veterans Park, one of the community gathering places there.

NCW Photo of the Week: Bridgeport, Washington
Here is a look at the Bridgeport Plaza in Bridgeport, Washington. Bridgeport is located just downriver of the famous Chief Joseph Dam. It is in a very interesting portion of North Central Washington, within a few minutes of the forests of the Cascades and also the near desert like features east of there. It can be a great stop on a drive east towards Grand Coulee Dam, north to Omak or Okanogan, or west to Winthrop and the North Cascades Highway.

NCW Photo of the Week: A Turbine At Wells Dam
Wells Dam is located between Pateros and Chelan and sits just downstream of where the Methow River flows into the Columbia River. This is yet another of the many hydroelectric dams in the region that provide for affordable energy, great recreational opportunities, and are a benefit to agriculture because of the irrigation possibilities they provide. Here is one of the former turbines that was used at Wells Dam, now mounted up above at the scenic overlook.

The Wenatchee River, seen here flowing underneath a bridge near Dryden, starts at the eastern end of Lake Wenatchee and flows through the communities of Plain, Leavenworth, Peshastin, Dryden, Cashmere, Monitor, and finally Wenatchee before emptying into the Columbia River. There are lots of fun activities to do on the river, including fishing, kayaking, rafting, tubing, and more.

The Piccadilly Circus Is Coming To Wenatchee!
It’s really cool when neat attractions and events come to North Central Washington.
On October 20th, Wenatchee welcomes the Piccadilly Circus to town. This unique circus has been entertaining adults and children both for 25 years. The sound everyone wants to hear at a circus is laughter and there will be plenty of that to go around as those who go to the circus will be treated to what will seem like a near endless string of great performances.
What kind of stuff will be seen?
Contortionists!
An ‘Elephant Extravaganza’!
The ‘White Tiger Spectacular’!
Aerialists!
…and who can forget the clowns and other performers?
Two of the most interesting performances that I’m looking forward to are the Motorcycle Madness attraction which features daredevils on motorcycles doing some incredible stunts including riding, jumping, and spinning inside what they describe as a Globe of Doom! The other one that I think my kids will love is Rocky the Boxing Kangaroo. This is a 250 pound kangaroo who takes on all comers, including it sounds like even some audience members.
Sounds like a great show and I know my kids will love it.
Specifics:
When: Thursday, October 20th with two shows, the first at 4:30pm and the second at 7:30pm.
Where: The Town Toyota Center in Wenatchee, 1300 Walla Walla Avenue, right next to Lowe’s and right across the street from Walla Walla Park.

NCW Photo of the Week: Fire Station on the Way to Mission Ridge
Here’s a unique looking little fire station that those who travel up to Mission Ridge will be familiar with. It sits on the outskirts of the southern part of Wenatchee and is big enough to hold about two vehicles.

NCW Photo of the Week: Downtown Wilson Creek
Wilson Creek is a cute little community located just off the highway, east of Ephrata and Soap Lake. One of the interesting parts of the town is all of the old architecture that remains in largely great shape. Anyone passing through will enjoy their quick stop off at this unique little community.
