For some reason, Wenatchee seems to have some of the highest gasoline prices in the state. The lowest price I found in the Wenatchee area recently area was $1.94 at Costco in East Wenatchee. 
I’ve been in a gas saving mind set lately, finding myself constantly looking for ways to save a few gallons of gas for myself, or someone else. I’m more into "carpooling" to events these days, which is actually fun because it becomes a social event. I used to like to take my car everywhere because it gave me the freedom to control my own schedule. Now, I’m learning to give up a little control in the interest making my small contribution to the oil consumption crisis. The good news, of course, is traffic congestion isn’t nearly what it is in the "big cities" and our proximity from one place to another is much closer… meaning we don’t have to break the budget, even with record high fuel prices.
I saw an interesting article on hybrid cars on the Bankrate.com website. It is a fairly short article that covers, in surprising detail, the current status of the hybrid market… pros and cons.
I still talk with a lot of people moving (or considering moving) into the area from other parts of the country. I am constantly being told what a good value Wenatchee real estate is compared to other market areas. And, of course, we have some of the best, and most diverse, recreational opportunities in the country.
If you’re interested in information on real estate in the Wenatchee or the surrounding areas, please e-mail or call me.
Have a great week!
