Wenatchee Veterans Office Running Shorter Hours Through August

Due to staffing shortages in August, the Chelan County Veterans Service Office will be open for limited hours this month.

The office, located at 428 Orondo Avenue in Wenatchee, will be open with temporary hours during August, from noon to 4 p.m. on Mondays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday.

The limited hours also mean the office will be limited in the services it can provide in August. If you are a veteran or a family member of a veteran, stop in during open hours and leave a message. An office employee can provide contact information to use in the interim, including contact information for veteran service officers in other counties who may be able to assist with an immediate need.

Veterans and veteran families may also contact the county’s office via an online form or by filling out a paper form at the office. During closed hours, the paper form will be located next to the mailbox at the office located at 428 Orondo Ave.
