5 years on the market and Monse, Washington is still the town nobody wanted

Juli Doty had big plans for the little ghost town of Monse, just north of Brewster.

A Wenatchee Realtor, Doty listed the entire town for sale five years ago.

She knew the town’s owners Donna and Fritz Van Doren and they asked her to sell it for them when they moved from Monse to East Wenatchee.

It was a sweet deal: $575,000 for 60 acres that included seven houses, an old schoolhouse, a general store and post office, all platted into 100 parcels for anyone who wanted to remake their own little town.

And Doty was the perfect person to sell it. She grew up in Brewster, but often visited Monse as a child, and remembered it as a bustling farm community.
