@HaleakalaCrater @Zennblack Not really, Chelan county, if you were to divide Washington into four North/South quadrants, would be the next over from King/Pierce counties roughly from the mid-section of the Cascade mountains going a bit further north than King and about as far south as the South end of Pierce, but narrow than either of these counties, it is more than half-way from the Washington / Idaho border, an area relatively sparsely populated, Wenatchee and Chelan border the southern most parts of the county, the northern part is mostly forested land, the southern some farmland, some cattle grazing. Yakima is perhaps 50 or so miles south of the Southern most part of the county and slightly to the East of most of it. Really not situated very close to Idaho and maybe 130 miles or so from Spokane at the very East most end of the county.

@kurt @Zennblack yes, it is more than half-way West from the east-west direction of the state. As I said, around 130 miles from Spokane (I live just North of Seattle, my father when he was alive lived in Yakima, my wife's father and many of my cousins are in the Spokane area, so traveled this route many times. Almost every summer there are forest fires in the Lake Chelan area, used to have some friends with a cabin on Lakeside property, somehow they managed to avoid having it burn down but many around them not so lucky.
