About Orondo
Orondo is a small community along the Columbia River in Douglas County, about 20 miles south of Chelan. The area is known for its cherry and apple orchards, warm climate, and stunning river canyon views. Orondo sits at a lower elevation than Chelan, which means warmer temperatures and an even longer growing and outdoor season.
Why Homeowners Choose Orondo
Orondo attracts homeowners who want expansive Columbia River views, agricultural acreage, and more affordable land than the Lake Chelan corridor. The area is popular with retirees, orchardists, and people building primary residences who work in Wenatchee or East Wenatchee. River-view building sites are highly sought after.
Whether you are building your forever home, a vacation retreat, or an income-producing rental property, Steelhead Construction has the experience and local expertise to deliver outstanding results in Orondo.

Learn MoreBuilding in Orondo: What You Need to Know
Building in Orondo means working within Douglas County jurisdiction, which has different building codes and permitting processes than Chelan County. The area's hillside lots can require significant excavation and retaining wall construction. Wildfire risk is a factor, and fire-resistant building practices are important. Water availability can also be a consideration for properties outside the local water district. Steelhead Construction is experienced with Douglas County requirements.
