Pateros ( pətærəs ) is a city ( City ) in Okanogan County in the State of Washington . At the United States Census 2000 Pateros had 643 residents; the number rose by 3.7% to 667 in the 2010 United States Census .
history
Pateros was originally founded as Ive's Landing around 1886 by Lee Ives. Ives began farming near the confluence of the Methow and Columbia Rivers ; At the same time, Indians lived in about 50 tipis and 20 Chinese miners in the area. The first post office was built in 1895.
In 1900 Charles Nosler bought most of the current location. He renamed the city Pateros after a city in the Philippines that he had previously visited. In 1903 the city consisted of four shops and nine apartment buildings; it was sold to JC Steiner. Steiner vigorously marketed the city and managed to create an important rail shipping point between Oroville and Wenatchee . Pateros was officially recognized as a local authority on May 1, 1913 .
The Federal Power Commission transferred in 1962 to the Douglas County Public Utility District (PUD), a 50-year license to build and operate the Wells Dam about eight miles (12.6 kilometers) of the Columbia River downstream from Pateros. The construction of the dam would have flooded much of the original city. Pateros City Council accepted an offer to relocate the city, and the PUD spent approximately US $ 1 million on relocating or demolishing buildings and improving infrastructure. Wells Dam opened in 1967. Regardless of the relocation of the city, the population fell by a third between 1960 and 1970.
Much of Pateros was destroyed by the Carlton Complex fire on July 17th and 18th, 2014. No injuries or deaths were recorded, but at least 95 residential buildings were destroyed, along with at least one shop.

Events
Apple Pie Jamboree
Pateros is located in north central Washington in Okanogan County. According to the city, 624 people lived in Pateros in 2009. However, in mid-July, thousands attend the annual Apple Pie Jamboree in Pateros. There are dragon boat races, basketball competitions and of course a lot of apple pie is eaten. In 2011, Pateros held the 64th of these events. The Apple Pie Jamboree is a fun event for residents and coasties; the participation fees benefit local clubs, students, and community groups. Residents and providers look forward to it every year.
Dragon boat races:
Mixed teams start training for the dragon boat races early. Some companies take the opportunity to present themselves through the participation of company teams and provide fun for the employees. Twenty people row to the rhythm, the smallest team member usually beats the beat with a drum. The boats somehow look traditionally Asian and bring a unique flair to Pateros. The circuit is 820 feet (244 m) long. The team with the best time from three runs wins. The training sessions on building up the team and coordinating the rhythm begin a week in advance.
3 on 3 and other activities:
The 3 on 3 basketball tournament begins on the Saturday of the Jamboree at 8 a.m. and lasts until all teams have played. The tournament is open to all ages from third grade to adults. A golf tournament is held at Alta Lake Golf Course , just five miles from Pateros. Other activities such as the jamboree jog , bass tournament, parade, quilt show, and the Wenatchee Youth Circus also take place. A jet ski race has been new since 2012. Some of the world's best jet skiers demonstrate their skills at the Jamboree weekend. High jumps and turns in the air are the prelude for the freestyle artists.
Apple Pie and KFC:
Apple Pie is at the heart of the event, and so there is also a baking competition. There is a one hundred dollar adult award and a twenty dollar award for the youth. The apple pie pieces are sold and the money raised will in turn benefit the community and the schoolchildren and students. The Pateros High School senior class is hosting a KFC sponsored dinner to fund their graduation trip. Entry is eight dollars and makes a welcome addition to the event.
Pateros Hydro Classic
In mid-August, the Tacoma Inboard Racing Association organizes the “Pateros Hydro Classic”. Participants from all over the country come to this race every year. Gliding boats “fly” over the water at speeds of up to 140 mi / h (225 km / h). They are powered by eight-cylinder engines and are so loud you can hear them all over town. A mile and a quarter (two kilometers) in length offers fifty boats the opportunity to battle for gold. The race starts in the morning at 10:30 a.m. Fans watch the races from the grassy shores of what is actually the Columbia River. Fireworks herald the end of a long day of racing on the lake.
