WHERE TO GET WHAT YOU NEED

 

There are two questions we get asked pretty regularly around here:

“Where can I buy [fill in the blank]?”
”Well, how far away is that?”

If you’re new to the area and working on building a cabin, looking for a morning espresso or just realized you forgot to pack sunscreen, knowing where you can get what you need (and how far the drive will be) is important.

The following places should help you get your bearings, but be sure to check out their websites or call for more information as hours can vary by the season or day.

PLAIN

Plain Hardware

Think less hardware store and more country mercantile. Offers a huge selection of hardware, lumber and propane as well as an espresso bar, pastries, giftware, clothing, seasonal goods and ski/snowshoe rentals, passes and permits.

It is said that if Plain Hardware doesn’t have what you need maybe you’re trying to do it wrong.

Just Plain Grocery

A well stocked convenience store with an ATM, gas pumps, ice, grocery staples and a large variety of beer & wine as well as classic liquor and spirits. You’ll find a selection of video rentals and don’t forget that lottery ticket.

There is also a laundromat located directly behind.

LAKE WENATCHEE

Midway Village & Grocery (& Gas)

A small but impressively well stocked convenience store located between Fish Lake & Lake Wenatchee. You can purchase fishing and hunting licenses and supplies, passes and permits, hand-dipped ice-cream, espresso and basic groceries, toiletries and emergency items and non-ethanol gas for your small engines.

The Village at Lake Wenatchee

Located between both state parks on Hwy 207, The Village offers a selection of drinks, snacks, camping food, espresso, antiques and giftware. There is a laundromat inside as well as a comfortable place to sit, play games and visit while you wait for those wet clothes to dry.

LEAVENWORTH

If you’re in need of more than just the essentials, you’re likely going to need to take a trip into Leavenworth, which is a 30-min drive away from most places (either via the Chumstick or Tumwater Canyon).
