Good morning, Wenatchee.

Nonprofit Chelan Valley Hope is moving to a new space as it expands services to help residents in the Chelan Valley.

The organization updated its website with plans to serve more community members—supporting positive change in the region.

The Community Foundation of NCW has accepted applications for its Legacy Fund Grants (available in Cashmere, Chelan Valley, Upper Valley and Wenatchee Valley) since July 1 and will accept them until August 15.

Jennifer MacCallum Provo (a longtime employee) bought Weeds Cafe in Cashmere and said she will keep the warm, familiar feel while adding live music events and new menu options to attract local customers.

She plans to build on the cafe's established community ties and adjust the space to meet growing interest in nightlife.

Chelan County has commissioned a comprehensive tourism perception survey with BERK Consulting to assess tourism's impact — county officials plan to use the findings to guide future planning.

On June 25 at Wenatchee Valley College, about 100 community members heard wildfire experts explain that North Central Washington faces a dangerous fire season ahead.

Experts noted that years of fire suppression have made local landscapes vulnerable and local fire services can only fight initial attacks—urging more prescribed burns and improved community readiness.

The Gesa Credit Union Local Grant program is now open for applications to support community projects—applicants can look for further details on eligibility and funding guidelines from the credit union.

Former Wenatchee Wild player Sam Morton re-signed with the NHL's Calgary Flames after scoring the game-winning goal on April 17 in his NHL debut in Los Angeles & he remains one of the few local players to make it to the NHL.
