Good morning, Wenatchee.

The Chelan and Douglas County veteran services offices held a Purple Heart Ceremony Thursday afternoon at Wenatchee Valley Veterans Hall to honor 14 local Purple Heart recipients (the event recognized those who served bravely in combat).

A $20K state-funded grant is giving farmworkers in Chelan County safety gear and energy aid.

The grant is led by CAFÉ + Chelan County PUD.

Wenatchee Mayor Mike Poirier tapped the police chief to serve as interim city administrator—as the city now begins its search for a permanent replacement.

Chelan County held its first Blake Relief Day on July 18 to clear 28 drug possession convictions following a state ruling that allowed past convictions to be vacated; 25 pre-scheduled sign-ups plus 15 walk-ins helped remove 11 Wenatchee cases, 15 Superior Court cases, one district court case and one juvenile case.

East Wenatchee City Council will interview five candidates on August 15 for the vacant seat left by Mark Botello.

The council will choose a new member from the applicants.
