EAST WENATCHEE — Surrounded by school officials, first-grader Amelia Nova helped cut the ribbon Monday afternoon on a new playground that’s a first in the region for schools.
"Cowboy Cross" is a great name, and it's crazy seeing the rodeo arena all cluttered up like that!

News you can use this winter! For all you skiers out there, Mission Ridge will now have night skiing from top to bottom 🎿
We are excited to announce the expansion of the night light system to the top of the mountain and the addition of new terrain for night skiing this coming season. After years of planning and preparation, 42 new light poles have been added in the Upper Basin of the resort to open several runs off of the Wenatchee Express chairlift. Topping out at 6,820 feet at the summit of the ski area, the Wenatchee Express will be open during night ski operations this season in addition to Chair 1, Chair 4 and several surface lifts. The increased vertical rise to a total of 2,250 feet will make our night ski operation the second tallest in the country that we’re aware of.
On clear nights, you'll have one of the most amazing night views in the state. From the summit, you will see the city lights of Ellensburg to Ephrata and many points further in all directions. This project will offer our night skiing guests more advanced terrain to ski and ride on, as well as provide one of the longest vertical drops for night skiing in the world.
The added night ski terrain will be a 78% increase over last season. When combined with a 2019 night ski expansion, we’ve increased terrain open for night skiing by over triple what was available for several decades prior. Skiers and snowboarders can now enjoy turns under the lights on 40 nights this coming season starting December 26th. The standard night schedule will run Wednesday through Saturday from 4 pm to 9 pm through the end of February. In total, 11 runs on over 70 acres of terrain will be lit. Night terrain will now be served by 3 chairlifts and 3 surface lifts.
Oh to be a pig in a bucket of cool water on a hot day 😂

Thank a firefighter today for keeping us safe 🙏
Since August 11, Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest firefighters responded to 17 wildfires (lightning and human caused). Of those 17, they have been able to contain and control, or declare out 11. Of those remaining six, the White River Fire is the largest at 516 acres, Irving Peak is 160 acres, smoke jumpers are working on the 1/10 acre Lookout Fire, and Phelps Ridge and Buck Creek fires are being monitored due to their locations in remote inaccessible terrain, and no smoke is visible from the No Name Creek Fire. These firefighters’ hard work has kept the majority of new starts small. Thank you to our firefighters, dispatchers, and other support personnel for everything you do!
Please help them out by complying with the campfire ban that is in place for the entire Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest.
People always forget this time of year that the water is still cold and dangerous even when it's hot outside! Thankfully these four folks were rescued ❤️

Love these tips on preparedness for the heat wave! Definitely check on any elderly neighbors you have, during the awful heat last year I stopped by a couple that lives near me to make sure they were ok and they treated me to some iced tea haha
Excessive Heat Warning in place. The following are some Hot weather precautions to reduce the risk of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
Stay indoors and in an air-conditioned environment as much as possible unless you're sure your body has a high tolerance for heat.
Drink plenty of fluids but avoid beverages that contain alcohol, caffeine or a lot of sugar.
Eat more frequently but make sure meals are balanced and light.
Never leave any person or pet in a parked vehicle.
Avoid dressing babies in heavy clothing or wrapping them in warm blankets.
Check frequently on people who are elderly, ill or may need help. If you might need help, arrange to have family, friends or neighbors check in with you at least twice a day throughout warm weather periods.
Make sure pets have plenty of water.
Salt tablets should only be taken if specified by your doctor. If you are on a salt-restrictive diet, check with a doctor before increasing salt intake.
If you take prescription diuretics, antihistamines, mood-altering or antispasmodic drugs, check with a doctor about the effects of sun and heat exposure.
Cover windows that receive morning or afternoon sun. Awnings or louvers can reduce the heat entering a house by as much as 80 percent.
It is so hot out 😰 Ellensburg is supposed to get to 108 this Thursday!! Keep your pups indoors and spray down your other animals (I'm joining them) with the sprinkler
