Some of my best memories growing up was shopping with my mom. We would drive an hour from Brewster to Wenatchee and just hit the stores! Sometimes we would try our hand at shopping in Spokane and Seattle/Bellevue. We always seemed to score well though When shopping in Wenatchee, plus it was cheaper to drive an hour vs 4 hours to say, Seattle.
