[edit] Image:Wenatchee.jpg

In the photo, Image:Wenatchee.jpg; The Sellar Bridge, can you tell us what direction it is, I would guess northwest? Also can you add what the second bridge is? I would guess that is a railroad bridge, or an old bridge made into a foot bridge? Help us out. WikiDon 21:19, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

The photo is looking northwest. The other bridge is an old train bridge which is now a foot bridge and part of the loop trail which is a recreational trail (paved) connecting the walking bridge and Odibashian bridge (in North Wenatchee). Parks are located all along the trail and provide baseball and soccer fields, tennis and basketball courts and also swimming areas. The loop trail is 11 miles in total (5.5 miles on each side of the river)--Etandrib 19:02, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

The Old Wenatchee-East Wenatchee Bridge was never a rail bridge. Infact, it was the first highway bridge built on the Columbia River. It opened to traffic in 1908. The bridge also contains a large irrigation main that supplies water to East Wenatchee, which continues to operate today. Lennon 21:47 8 December 2005 (UTC)

There has to be a newer picture of Wenatchee available. This one has to be at least 30+ years old. I'm from the Wenatchee area and it hasn't looked like this for a very long time. If need be, the next time I'm there I'll take a new pic. 23:25 11 June 2006 (PDT)

What do you think has changed since the photo was taken? I think Wenatchee still looks like that. The Olds station bridge is around the bend, I presume. --Fagles 02:30, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Well, all the new construction along both sides of the river is missing, as well as the Olds Station bridge and the loop trail that should be visible from this view. --Patris_Magnus 09:33, 30 June 2006 (PDT)

[edit] Conventions

I'm not sure why this section got added. Many towns have a convention center, that is not much of note. Perhaps this section could be re-written to sound like less of an advertisement for the Center and Coast hotel. Lennon 02:26, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

I simply removed this section. Lennon 18:54, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Founder

I'm unfamiliar with the Wenatchee founder "Don Carlos Corber". Is there a source that can verify that name?--Bifferoo 22:59, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dr. Goodwin

The user at 66.172.96.74 removed this paragraph from "History" section.

Goodwin was openly resistant to changing his then new way of doing things and was therefore aggressively accused by the Washington State Department of Health's Examining Board of Psychology (EBP) of mental impairment, unprofessional conduct, negligence, and incompetence. All the charges were eventually dropped. Dr Goodwin was finally able to settle his 8 year battle admitting that he once got only a verbal rather than a written release for a client to talk with a prospective client with no danger to either noted; the issue of Prozac and his short-term psychotherapy by then widely accepted. Dr Goodwin continues his still ground breaking work in his office on Wenatchee Avenue.

This paragraph has been changed a number of times by a number of people. Currently I agree with its removal, because is isn't NPoV. However neither is the paragraph which remains. The two should probably be rewritten to sound more nutral. Lennon 01:27, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm beginning to wonder why this is even in the Wenatchee history section. Perhaps this would be better suited for either inclusion on a page about Prozac or a page about Dr. Goodwin? Cascadia 01:34, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Way too many unlinked "links"!

I'm seeing way too many "red internal links" in this article. Either link them, create another aticle for them, or simply don't link them!!!! JustN5:12 23:58, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
