Peshastin Beautification Project

Much thanks to Ted Alway, of Derby Canyon Natives, for leading a crew of volunteers with rakes and hoes at the Link bus turnaround/railroad underpass. The volunteers smoothed out the embankment, placed some landscaping rocks and planted native ground cover and flowers to present a more appealing entrance to our community. Yes, we know it's just the start of winter, but some of us can hardly wait 'til Spring to see what sprouts up.

We are pleased to announce that on October 7, 2008, the

Chelan Board of County Commissioners
Approved the Peshastin UGA Comprehensive Plan
as presented by the community!

The Peshastin Community worked hard for over three years to develop this comprehensive plan.

The UGA zoning code and development regulations are now up for review and possibly a few changes. Click here to view the code and proposed changes.

The proposed changes will be discussed and voted on at the next Chelan County Board of Commissioners meeting 2:00 pm, October 5th.

Another important development as our community continues to grow, is our inclusion in the planning of trails in the Wenatchee River Upper Valley Region.

The City of Leavenworth has initiated the organization of a Regional Trails Steering Committee made up of interested community leaders and recreational and conservation organizations. Steve Keene, Peshastin Community Council Chairman, is a member of the committee.

Some of the goals of the trail plan are to enhance existing trails with new connecting trails, to increase commuting options, and to connect more neighborhoods, residents, and visitors with non-motorized travel and recreation options. Read more about the project on the City of Leavenworth web site.
