Cashmere-Dryden Airport will host its fourth annual Airport Day on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., featuring 50 single-engine planes and at least three helicopters from the Washington Army National Guard and Chelan County Sheriff’s office.

Douglas County has chosen to implement a roundabout at the Grant Road and Nile Avenue intersection, reigniting public debate over this traffic control method despite county officials citing safety benefits.

The Port of Wenatchee is seeking to adjust fares for the terminal café at Pangborn Memorial Airport, while hate crime charges against a 74-year-old Wenatchee man for a 2024 knife attack were dismissed after he was ruled unfit to stand trial.
