LOCATIONS

Cashmere, WA, with required travel to job sites in the region. 

Territory covers: Washington, Oregon, and Idaho.

Travel Requirements: approximately 70% travel, with frequent overnight stays, is required to jobsites and to visit clients.

Cashmere is the geographic center of Washington State, and this town’s got a lot of heart!  Surrounded by pear and apple orchards, there’s no mistaking how Cashmere made its fortunes.  Locally grown fruit is packed and shipped all around the world, from the tree to your table.  Chances are, if you have enjoyed a Washington pear, it probably was grown in the hills that surround Cashmere. Downtown is a great place to get some delicious lunch or pick up a fresh pastry. Cashmere is best known for Washington State’s equally maligned and beloved state candy, Aplets and Cotlets.  Walk the shady sidewalks past turn-of-the-century craftsman homes lovingly restored and preserved.  Be sure not to miss a world-class collection of local Native American artifacts on display at the Cashmere museum, right across the river from downtown. 

Cashmere is surrounded by the eastern foothills of the Cascade Mountains, along the Wenatchee River, and near both the Cascades and Lake Chelan, making it a great place for outdoor adventures. The Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area is about 10 miles west. The Peshastin Pinnacles is a historical climbing area located a few miles from town. Some of America's first technical climbing routes were established here. The Devil's Gulch mountain bike trail is considered the premier downhill ride in Washington state and is located just south of town. This ride attracts thousands of mountain bikers from Seattle and elsewhere each year. The Wenatchee River is a popular whitewater destination and runs right through Cashmere. The river provides challenging rapids for rafters and kayakers each spring during runoff. Several famous rapids occur in the stretch of river that runs through town.

The Wenatchee River Valley offers the beauty of all seasons and has become a favorite among outdoor enthusiasts. On the same day, you can: water ski the Columbia River and ski Mission Ridge; whitewater raft in the Wenatchee River, and mountain bike Sage Hills. For golf enthusiasts, the valley boasts seven golf courses, each with its own degree of difficulty and dramatic views. Just 10 miles to the east, the Apple Capital Loop Trail runs along the Columbia River. It provides 10 miles of paved trails for walking, running, biking, and other non-motorized transportation.  One of the favorite stops along the trail is Pybus Market, where you can get the world’s best fruit and vegetables from local farmers, and enjoy a freshly prepared meal at several different restaurants along the market.
