WorkSource Wenatchee Valley to leave East Wenatchee site as services move to Wenatchee
WorkSource Wenatchee Valley is scheduled to close its East Wenatchee location at 5 p.m. June 30, 2026, changing where local job seekers and businesses access the program’s employment and training services. The Washington Employment Security Department announced the closure and planned relocation on June 23.
During the transition, interim WorkSource services will be offered through the Chelan-Douglas Community Action Council. The program is preparing to move to a new location in Wenatchee in August 2026.
What is changing
The closure applies specifically to WorkSource Wenatchee Valley’s East Wenatchee site. It is not an announcement that WorkSource services have ended across the Wenatchee Valley. Instead, the agency’s notice describes a change in the location used to deliver those services.
WorkSource serves both job seekers and businesses. For people in East Wenatchee who used the former site for employment or training assistance, the immediate practical change is that the East Wenatchee location will no longer be available after the 5 p.m. June 30 deadline.
Businesses that used the site for WorkSource-related assistance will also need to use the interim arrangement during the transition or access the new Wenatchee location once it opens.
Interim services and planned move
The Chelan-Douglas Community Action Council is identified as the provider of interim services. The approved announcement does not provide additional details about the interim site’s hours, the specific services available there or whether every WorkSource service will continue without interruption.
The next stated step is a planned move to a new WorkSource location in Wenatchee in August 2026. The announcement does not give a precise opening date or a final address for that location, so residents and businesses do not yet have a confirmed August day or destination address for the new site.
East Wenatchee is the Douglas County administrative location, and the WorkSource notice identifies the closing facility as the East Wenatchee location rather than an unspecified regional office. That makes the change directly relevant to people who previously relied on the local Douglas County site.
What remains confirmed
The confirmed timeline is the East Wenatchee closure at 5 p.m. June 30, followed by interim services through the Chelan-Douglas Community Action Council and a planned Wenatchee relocation in August. The available announcement does not establish whether all services will be available continuously during the changeover.
Until the agency provides the new address and exact opening date, people seeking employment or training help and businesses using WorkSource services should treat the Community Action Council arrangement as the identified interim option and watch for further location details.
