Washington State Main Street News
The Wenatchee Downtown Association is coordinated with guidance from the Washington State Main Street Program. There are currently 11 accredited programs, like Wenatchee, in Washington state, along with dozens of other downtowns and commercial districts working toward our level of success.

Main Street Accreditation
The Washington State Main Street program reviews our organization once per year to ensure that we are meeting standards for a successful downtown revitalization effort. Our board president reviews this document with the executive director and the board. It has been an effective tool to help track our results from year to year. WDA has been accredited by Washington state and the National Main Street Program every year since 1992.

What Happened to Downtown?
The story of downtown is an intriguing one. Downtown districts across the United States have gone through transitions similar to Wenatchee's. This powerpoint, with notes, shows local and national examples of how associations such as ours can help revitailize an important part of our community.

About Downtown Wenatchee
City of Wenatchee's Sub-Area Plan for the Central Business District
Downtown Wenatchee lies within the city of Wenatchee's Central Business District boundaries. This encompasses a large footprint from 5th street on the north to Thurston on the south, and from Chelan Ave. on the west to Columbia Street on the east. Several zoning overlays lie within the broader boundary, including Wenatchee's Historic Core, the stretch of Wenatchee Avenue between Second Street and Yakima Street.
