Good morning, Wenatchee.

Iwa Sushi & Grill in Wenatchee is drawing a busy lunch crowd by 11 a.m. today as courthouse workers, nurses, and families with toddlers begin their midday meal; owner Lin Yang is helping make the restaurant a warm hub for the community.

The City of East Wenatchee began a major upgrade of its water system today at the intersection of State Route 28 and 19th Street Northeast — crews will work in phases and drivers should expect road closures, detours, and slower traffic for several weeks.

Wenatchee locals have several lunch options today, from Lemolo Cafe and Glaze Bakery to budget picks like Costco.

The Hot Rod Cafe in Monitor stands out with freshly made burgers and playful racing décor (a race car on the roof) for a quick, fun meal.
