I’ve always thought the Coast Hotel, our nextdoor neighbor, was the tallest building in Wenatchee. I was wrong. It’s the second tallest in town.
So what are the tallest buildings in Wenatchee? Lets count em down, Ryan Seacrest style.
#6 The Chelan County Courthouse
Built in 1924. Standing at 57 feet tall – This was known as the tallest building in Wenatchee from 1924 to 1929. The Courthouse building oversees the Apple Blossom Food Court in the Spring, just like a king, giving its proud approval. Address: 350 Orondo Ave
Tied for #4 The Doneen Building

Tied for #4 Central Washington Hospital
