Our City of Wenatchee Code Enforcement Division works with property owners to resolve violations voluntarily. When compliance doesn’t happen, the City may need to step in to protect neighborhood safety and quality of life.

During a recent enforcement action, four junk vehicles and approximately two tons of garbage were removed from a property.

A big thank you to the Wenatchee Police Department for standing by and helping ensure everyone remained safe while the work was completed. Great teamwork to help keep Wenatchee clean, safe, and welcoming.

🇺🇸 Honoring 33 Years of Service🇺🇸

This past weekend, family, friends, colleagues, and fellow service members came together to celebrate an extraordinary milestone for our new City Administrator, Edgar Reinfeld, as he officially retired from the United States Air Force after 33 years of honorable service.

Throughout more than three decades in the military, Edgar served with the 446th Airlift Wing at McChord Air Force Base, while also completing numerous temporary duty assignments around the world and across the United States, including Germany, Alaska, Japan, Peru, Scotland, and many other locations.

33 years of military service represents far more than the passage of time. It reflects sacrifice, commitment, leadership, time away from family, service before self, and an unwavering dedication to something greater.

Remarkably, this retirement comes just weeks after Edgar also closed another significant chapter, his decades-long career with the Wenatchee Police Department.

While he may have recently retired from two very important roles, his service to our community is far from over.

We are fortunate to now have Edgar serving as our City Administrator, bringing decades of leadership, public service, experience, and perspective into this next chapter.

Please join us in congratulating Edgar and thanking him for 33 years of service to our country.

A few weeks ago, our team was on-site to capture a huge moment for the South End Bike and Pedestrian Access Bridges project—setting the bridge truss to span over the railroad line on the Wenatchee side of this project! We are getting closer every day to completing this major upgrade for safer mobility around our city.

Take a closer look at the project scope and timeline here: https://www.wenatcheewa.gov/government/city-projects/south-end-bike-ped-access-bridges

🏛️ CONNECTING ON WENATCHEE’S PRIORITIES

The City of Wenatchee recently met with 12th District State Representative Brian Burnett at City Hall to provide updates on several projects currently underway and discuss future infrastructure and capital needs within our community.

A significant portion of the discussion focused on the Confluence Parkway Project, with City Engineer Jake Lewing and Public Works Director Tom Wachholder providing an update on the project, its progress, and the transportation and infrastructure needs it is designed to address.

The visit also included discussion of future capital needs within Wenatchee, including potential electrical infrastructure upgrades at Memorial Park.

Memorial Park plays an important role in our community and serves as a central location for many Washington State Apple Blossom Festival activities each year. The park's infrastructure supports vendors, events, residents, and the many visitors who come to Wenatchee.

Keeping our state legislative delegation informed about Wenatchee's infrastructure, capital projects, and long-term community needs is an important part of the City's ongoing work with our state partners.

Thank you to our City staff for sharing their expertise and continuing the work to plan and deliver infrastructure that supports Wenatchee's future.

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the courage of the first responders, service members, and everyday citizens who answered tragedy with bravery and compassion.

Twenty-five years later, we remember their sacrifice, their service, and the strength our nation found in standing together.

We will never forget. 🇺🇸

🎙️ City of Wenatchee's Core Conversations With The Mayor podcast is officially here!

We’re excited to launch a new way for our community to stay connected with what’s happening at the City of Wenatchee.

About twice a month, following City Council meetings, the City of Wenatchee Mayor will sit down for a deeper conversation about the decisions being made, projects moving forward, community events, City priorities, and the work happening behind the scenes.

And from time to time, the Mayor will be joined by City staff, community partners, and topic experts who can provide additional insight and perspective on the issues and projects impacting Wenatchee.

This isn’t just a recap, it’s a chance to dig a little deeper, provide context, talk about the “why,” and give our community a more open and transparent look at City government.

🎧 Episode 1 is live, give it a watch!
