Cashmere resident Steven Gnam says the paper failed to cover Mission Ridge's proposed expansion plan with the journalistic rigor the community deserves and expects
Dom, I just spent 15 minutes trying to find a link to the full DEIS - and all I could find was Appendix G (the link in your article) and Appendices A-E of the Forest Service's EA (done under NEPA, not SEPA) - neither are the main document. Do you have a link to the full doc?
Thanks Steve and Dom. This development in various iterations has been rammed down our throats by the Wenatchee World since the early 1980's, rarely have any adverse impacts been objectively reported. Who is the journalist that will do objective reporting ? Do we bring in the Seattle Times ?
Yeah, I read the WW advertisement, er, article about the huge development up the hill. It read exactly how I thought they would write it...as if it was being dictated by mission ridge to the WW employee.
There are a lot of newbi, under paid and youthful reporters writing stories without proper editorial oversight. It’s the higher ups that need to dig in and report rather than cheer lead. I’m a print subscriber and pay actual $$$ and I believe the readers deserve journalistic integrity not boosterism. Try again on this story WW. Help is all understand what the plan is and what the genuine, unbiased details are. Like others, I’m tired of “development at all cost.”
Disregard - I found the right link: https://www.co.chelan.wa.us/community-development/pages/current-planning
There you can select whatever volume you want.

It looks like you found it as I was about to post the link here. But I will do that anyway just in case others are looking for it. I also added it to the top of the column as a link. https://www.co.chelan.wa.us/community-development/pages/current-planning

I have to wonder what the education and experience of this WW "journalist" is.
