Good morning, Wenatchee.

North Central Washington’s unique Hobbit Inn — a Tolkien homage and cherished fantasy retreat — burned to ashes in the Chelan Hills Fire on the 4th of July; owner Kristie Wolfe launched a GoFundMe to rebuild it at the same site, inviting community support.

The Chelan Hills Fire is 50% contained after burning nearly 9,900 acres but red flag fire weather on Wednesday means crews are protecting properties and maintaining evacuations + power has been restored to some lines.

A new survey by Clever Real Estate finds the average worker expects to retire with $515,000, only half the amount financial experts recommend.

Many Wenatchee workers are already behind in savings (65% say they are) and might need to review their retirement plans soon.

Consumer Reports tested 56 bread brands and ranked Food for Life's Ezekiel 4:9 bread best for its zero sugar, low salt, and natural ingredients; the product, which is in the freezer aisle and available in Wenatchee Natural Foods (222 N Wenatchee Ave), costs $8.99.
