Cashmere is a lovely small town in central Washington State, located just two and a half hours from Seattle within easy driving distance from downtown Leavenworth. The charming Cascade Mountains getaway is one of Washington State's top destinations for white water rafting throughout the year due to its location at the confluence of some of the state's most majestic and challenging rivers, including the stunning Columbia River.
Picturesque Mount Cashmere gives the city its name, ascending to heights of more than 8,500 feet above sea level. In Cashmere, visitors can explore the Cashmere Museum and Pioneer Village, which preserves nearly two dozen structures from the town's pioneer days as living history exhibits.
