Leavenworth is on the eastern crest of the Cascade range and averages just short of 80 inches per year. That would be about 6.5 feet so that isn’t that far off. By contrast Wenatchee averages about 32 inches (2.5 feet plus)

Well, since you don't have a citation, and your comment conflict's with C-D's data, then I'm going to assume that you made that up.

No, I don't make things up and post them here. But thanks for your "polite" response.

I couldn't add my link last evening, but here it is FYI:

Thanks for the link.

Still, that conflicts with this website's data that I posted earlier, and I will need to do a little digging, because I'm skeptical that they say that Leavenworth supposedly gets more snow than Winthrop. I've lived in both places and, by my own anecdotal experience, I don't believe that to be true.

In the early 1930s, my grandmother had children in Sunnyslope; nursed her young husband through TB in their cabin home in Sunnyslope; he died from the TB there, and her infant died there soon after. Her husband and infant were buried in the cemetery in Sunnyslope. All in Sunnyslope between the late 1920s and 1935 and it was called Sunnyslope.

Thanks to technology, the number of fruit warehouse jobs available compared to before the 1980s is a tiny fraction of what there used to be. Most of human labor has been replaced by machines.

Both of which are in the Wenatchee Valley area, as Leavenworth, Peshastin, Dryden, Cashmere, Monitor, and Sunnyslope are in the Wenatchee River Valley, plus in the Wenatchee Valley are East Wenatchee right across the Columbia River and Rock Island up river in Douglas County, and Malaga in the Wenatchee Valley up river from the city of Wenatchee in Chelan County.
