Good morning, Wenatchee.

A new guide details 10 Central Washington farmers markets that open this season—showing where locals can buy fresh produce, flowers, and artisanal goods.

The guide also explains that shoppers can use SNAP EBT at booths and earn produce rewards at Pasco Farmers Market—helping them make informed choices.

A Wenatchee man died and two Wenatchee women were injured when the box truck he was driving struck a farm tractor from behind on Highway 26 near MP 32 just before 12:30 p.m. on Friday in Adams County+ officials said the driver was not wearing a seatbelt and was following too close.

A Wenatchee man was arrested Friday night after a woman told police he strangled and beat her—he also harmed her with a hand saw.

A 112-lot development on Badger Mountain Road near Fancher Heights will be reviewed by the Douglas County Hearing Examiner Thursday as officials evaluate the project’s impact and decide on next steps.
