EAST WENATCHEE — Amazon has opened a new delivery station in the Wenatchee area, expanding the e-commerce company's logistics network in North Central Washington.

The facility, designated WWG5, is located at 3485 NE Trident Way in East Wenatchee and will serve customers throughout the Wenatchee Valley and surrounding areas. The delivery station is expected to create hundreds of local jobs offering competitive wages and comprehensive benefits packages, including health, vision, and dental insurance.

Local legislators have welcomed the development's impact on regional employment and economic growth. State Senator Brad Hawkins (District 12) helped facilitate Amazon's expansion into the area.

"I'm very excited that Amazon selected the Wenatchee Valley for its next delivery station," Hawkins said. "This facility will put a lot of people to work, improve deliveries to local businesses and families, and help grow and diversify our regional economy. As our State Senator, I was excited to connect with the Amazon team early on about this opportunity, and I thank the Regional Port, Douglas County Commissioners, and others for helping to make this happen. This is an awesome step forward for our region."

Senator Shelly Short of the 7th Legislative District spoke about the facility's workforce development plans. "Amazon's delivery station in Wenatchee is more than an economic boost; it's an investment in our local talent," Short said. "I commend Amazon for offering job opportunities that come with educational benefits, which provide a sustainable way for employees to grow and thrive. This facility will support not only Wenatchee but also nearby communities by fostering career advancement and strengthening our regional workforce."

The opening adds to Amazon's investment in Washington state's economic infrastructure, with the company stating the facility will enhance delivery speeds while creating economic opportunities for the Wenatchee Valley region.
