Chelan is a tourist city at Lake Chelan.
Chelan is at the southeastern tip of the
lake, where the Chelan River flows into
the lake. Chelan Lake is surrounded by
the Cascade Mountains, so the city is
near the lake. The Chelan area was
home to Salish speaking Native
Americans prior to the white settlement
in the late 1880s. Today Chelan is a city
with lots of shops and hotels. 4,100
people live there.
Chelan
was
a
place
where
I
was
able
to
relax.
I
liked
the
beautiful
landscape
and
t
h
e
l
a
k
e
a
lot.
First
we
went
down
to
the
water
and
after
that
we
had
pizza.
Then
we
visited
a
museum
where
you
can
see
how
the
people
lived
there
in
the
past.
It
w
a
s
r
e
a
lly
interesting
to
see
the
old
things
and
to
learn
something
about
life
in
the
past.
For
the
last
30
minutes
we
walked
through
Chelan
with its shops.
After
the
summer
vacation
it
is
really
quiet
there
because
the
people
love
to
be
there
in
the
summer.
To
finish,
we
d
r

f
u
l
landscape.
We
were
there
for
two
and
a
half
hours
but
it
was
a
little
bit
too
short
to
visit
and
see
all
the
things
there.
Chelan
is
a
beautiful
place
where
you
can
relax
and
unwind.
You
can
easily
stay
there
for
a
half
day.
You
can
go
shopping
and
enjoy
the
lake.
But
there
are
not
a
lot
of
places
at
the
water
because
all
the
hotels
are
there.
It
is
perfect
for
you
if
you
want
to
relax.
But
if
you
like
action,
it is the wrong place for you.
!
M
y tip:
Drive around the lake and enjoy the view on a sunny day or sit down at the
water.
