Construction of the Chelan County Courthouse underway in 1924. The entire construction cost was around $400,000.
The courthouse became the social center of Wenatchee. Apple Blossom Queens made grand entrances to the community’s festivities from the courthouse steps, and the building has served as a backdrop for the festival ever since it's construction. This photo is from 1929.
