Introducing the Wenatchee Humane Society Pet of the Week

Meet Dottie. She's a 3-year-old shepherd mix with a heart of gold.

She may be a bit shy with new people, but once she feels comfortable, she warms right up and will sit patiently for you to pet her. Dottie has a sweet personality. She is wonderfull to walk on a leash, knows how to "sit" on command, and loves playing with squeaky toys.

Dottie will thrive in a home with people who can give her the attention and affection she craves.

The Best Hikes To See Golden Larches in Washington State

Washington State doesn't offer the same kind of fall foliage that's seen in most areas of the United States - most of the trees are evergreen and so don't change color. However, that doesn't mean there aren't any color changes to see in fall - in fact, hunting for the golden larches is a special PNW treat!

Here's a collection of some of the best larch viewing hikes you can take in Washington - along with videos showcasing their splendor.

If you're looking for more details on these hikes, check out Alpine Wanderlust's hiking guide for larch viewing - which was a huge inspiration behind this list! Links to the Washington Trail Association's hike information pages are also available to springboard your adventure.
