Wenatchee is a very conservative city--quite possibly the most conservative in the state, none of this Puget Sound/Seattle based liberal stuff 
I did 18 years there, and in my opinion, the best view of Wenatchee is in the rear view mirror of my car. But that's just me. Some of my high school classmates can't imagine living anywhere else, so it works for them.

Do yourselves a favor and google image "Alpine Lakes Wilderness". 300 days of sunshine in the Cascade Mountain foothills (opposite climate of Seattle), extensive community sponsored mountain biking trails. 25 minutes from the driveway to skiing or literally 10min to have the boat launched in the Columbia River. 2.7cents/kilowatt hour (LA is 21.6cents average) means miles of parks and almost every house has a fiber connection due to the PUD making so much on selling power to CA, one of the last Alcoa aluminum smelters in the country and monster data centers owned by Microsoft/Yahoo/Dell/etc. which by themselves justify air service to EAT. The economy doesn't exactly suck here.
The travel bug bit me early in life just like it did with many of you (24 countries since 2009) but it's always nice coming home to Wenatchee.

My receipt shows BA00A0MC.
I'm not sure. I already flew it... kind of. Called to try and change it to go out of GEG (since I flew in to GEG the night prior) and they left my res all mixed up. Got to EAT and couldn't check in, missed the flight. I actually had three separate res back-to-back that weekend, so I got rebooked out of SEA on the direct to HNL in full F, using that super-cheap B ticket!!!
Sure, my MR weekend was greatly shortcut by 3000 MQM, but the agent gave me all the flights I wasn't able to take back as credits. Sometimes what they'll do for you as a DM is truly amazing. ^

Doing two of these back to back on Jan 26th and 27th.
For any of you familiar with the airport, am I going to have trouble grabbing a cab from the airport to the SpringHill Suites around midnight?
Anybody done this run yet? How'd it go?

I wasn't there at midnight, but the airport is pretty much outside of town, and the SpringHill Suites is quite a ways away, across town. Since AS only has 2-3 flights/day, you may be in luck with a taxi, but I really don't know. Wenatchee isn't a metropolis.

Thanks EZE, I figured as much so I guess I might try to pre-arrange some sort of transport. Would hate to have walk the 8 miles to the hotel...

You will find taxis waiting outside the one (and only) door of the airport post your arrival.

TSA lane opens typically 50 minutes before departures
