Wenatchee Business Journal

The Wenatchee Business Journal heard about a new law firm headquartered here, but the best part is that the lawyers are “homegrown” residents or recently transplanted to this idyllic town on the Wenatchee River.
Clay Gatens, Michelle Green, and Lindsey Weidenbach have formed Gatens Green Weidenbach, PLLC here. The trio agreed to an exclusive interview with the WBJ about opening and running a legal enterprise amidst the coronavirus pandemic.
According to the firm, Michelle Green was born and raised in Cashmere. She is part of the fourth generation in her family that has chosen to make Cashmere their home. Her great-grandparents farmed orchards in Cashmere in the early 1900s, and Michelle is proud to now serve the agricultural industry as part of her law practice.
Lindsey Weidenbach was also born and raised in Cashmere and is excited to be opening a business here, following in the footsteps of her great-grandparents and her father who owned and operated Wehmeyer’s TV and Appliance in downtown Cash-mere for decades.
Clay Gatens moved to Cashmere shortly after relocating from Seattle with his wife, Jessaca, who is originally from East Wenatchee. The Gatens’ two children attend Cashmere schools.
