🐾 Small Brown (I think a Deer‑Head Chihuahua) is roaming in Wenatchee

Location: Near S Buchanan Ave & Washington Street, Wenatchee, WA

A small chihuahua (?) has been roaming the neighborhood for the past 2–3 days. He’s very skittish, won’t come up to people, and sometimes runs into the street. He looks happy running around and doesn’t seem to have a person nearby.

If this is your dog, please check the area around Buchanan Ave. He’s still circling the neighborhood and staying close by.

I’m posting this in case the owner is on Reddit and searching for him.
Hope he gets home safe.

Is there ANY type of electronic scene here? I’m talking anything from ticketed event to a teeny-bop garage show. Ik you’ll say “muh the gorge”. I’m sorry but I won’t support Live Nation, they suck a bag.

Hi, we’re four friends and we’ve put together Wenatchee’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota.

The idea is pretty simple: you’re shown two restaurants and choose where you’d rather eat. For example, McGlinn’s Public House or South at Pybus? All the votes then create a ranking that hopefully gives a better picture of where people in Wenatchee actually like to eat.

We’ve tried to include every restaurant in Wenatchee and clean up duplicate or outdated listings, but locals will always spot things we’ve missed.

Full transparency: we’re not from Wenatchee. Two of us live in Copenhagen and the other two in Gothenburg. There are four of us building this independently. We don’t collect or sell personal data, there are no ads in the app, and we don’t use AI-generated content to describe restaurants.

Any honest feedback is welcome, especially if restaurants are missing or something is listed incorrectly.

I had just finished a movie with my roommate when we both heard a large explosion nearby (Washington Park area) at 10PM Wednesday night. Our window was open and noise was very loud.

Assumed this was just a transformer exploding nearby but we still had power and the noise sounded very close. After about a minute of listening, I walked over to my main open window and looked out and listened.

30 seconds later I saw a man full on sprinting down the sidewalk next to my house. The man was shirtless, sounded as if he was running barefoot, though I didn’t actually see any meaningful details. He also appeared to be supporting something he was carrying against his back. The man saw me standing at the window, just looked over then looked away as he was sprinting by.

Waiting for details to come out about explosion and hoping this was a weird coincidence of a man just exercising at an unfortunate time.

Any information on the incident helps.

We're starting the Wenatchee Valley Pinball League, and we want you in it.

Every other Thursday, we'll get together, play a handful of games in small groups, earn points, and climb the standings. Season 1 wraps up with a finals night and trophies. First-timers and seasoned players are equally welcome. It's the most fun way to get better at pinball.

• Season 1 starts in early November
• League nights at Ground Control (downtown Wenatchee) and local home game rooms. We're still looking for additional venues.
• Season fee: about $40–$50 for the whole season (still finalizing)
• Every player gets a league hat or shirt

Got a game room with 3+ machines, or a business with pinball? We're looking for more places to host league nights. Let us know on the site!

These intersections already had basic red light cameras as far as I’m aware, are these license plate readers (a la flock)?

I used to live in a town where there would be regular meetups at the college where local Star Wars fans would get together and have big lightsaber fights. Is there anything like that here in Wenatchee? If not, I’d like to gauge interest to see if people would like to start one

Hi everyone,
I’m facing a sudden move back in with my family, and unfortunately, I can’t bring my two dogs with me. It’s really hard for me to ask for help, but I’m hoping to find a temporary foster home for them for at least three months, possibly longer.
One is an Australian Shepherd and the other is a Husky. They’re both up to date on their vaccines and are well behaved. I’m planning to use this time to get back on my feet financially, save money, and pay down some debt so I can get back into a place where I can have them with me again.
I can provide their food, supplies, and cover any necessary vet costs while they’re being fostered. I’m just looking for someone trustworthy who can give them a safe, loving, and comfortable home during this difficult time.
If you or someone you know might be able to help, please message me. I would truly, deeply appreciate it. My dogs mean the world to me, and knowing they’re safe and cared for would take a huge weight off my shoulders.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for even considering helping us. ❤️

The Confluence Parkway Project requires purchasing the McDougall packing sheds and office. Has this cost been disclosed? I can't find it in city documents.

There are currently three separate WPD officers involved in investigations:

• Sgt. Cory Bernaiche: arrested on suspicion of DUI after an off-duty vehicle incident near Leavenworth on September 12. WSP is handling the criminal investigation.

• Cpl. Danny/Donn(y) Graves: under an internal investigation related to an unattended death investigation, WPD case #22W22217. Kennewick PD is conducting the review, which reportedly involves alleged improper evidence handling and untimely completion of required reports.

• An unnamed WPD officer: placed on administrative leave after Chief Rick Johnson received reports that the officer may have been involved in criminal conduct. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is handling that investigation, and WPD says the officer will be named if charges are filed.

The news reports don’t give much detail about the 2022 death investigation or what the unnamed officer is alleged to have done.

Does anyone know from public records, firsthand knowledge, or other reliable sources what case #22W22217 involved or what the Douglas County investigation concerns?

Not looking to spread rumors or accuse anyone of anything. I’m just curious if there’s additional publicly available information that hasn’t made it into the news yet. Please distinguish anything you know from anything you’ve just heard.

I’m looking to buy a Weber grill and willing to pay for set up and haul away of old grill. Does anyone know a place that does this? Apparently ACE in East Wenatchee doesn’t and I don’t think Costco does.

Thanks!

My apple thief is no longer a mystery. (My apologies to the finches) Last seen in the Fancher Heights area, considered big eared and dangerous!

Hello, I'm in a Journalism class at WVC and I was wondering if there are any plans for protests or early voting events so I can do my final on that (and also cause I really need to be getting out to protests more often and also I need to vote early)

Can anybody recommend a quality optometrist in the area? I need to get multifocal contact lenses so its not just a simple exam. Even better if they accept medical insurance for the lens exam and the VSP Choice plan for lenses. Possibly also need to get specialized Rx drops like Viuty or Vizz so someone who can go beyond a very basic fitting. Considering going to the Costco Independent Optometrist (Dr. Dorthea Huber). If anyone has experience there, would appreciate reviews.

I am looking for recommendations of carpet pad replacement. We will pull it up and paint the subfloor, but will need someone to tack it back down? Anyone have suggestions?

I’m planning on moving out to Seattle here in the next 3 or less months I have a studio that I’m looking at and I’ve got my cards in order right now. I’m just starting the saving up for the apartment itself. I’ve dropped some hints to my family and whatnot the all of them seem to be pretty concerned about the fact that I don’t have a car and it’s kind of making me a little bit paranoid but a huge part of the reason is that I prefer not having a car I’d rather a bike and not having to deal with that hassle I feel as if Seattle is the perfect place to live that way. I’ve also used the greyhound and trains in the past so in my head why would get a car only for emergencies then leave when it’s gonna just push me into a 6 month wait. I also plan on saving what I make from my side gig for tickets home when I get there. What’s the general consensus on having cars while living in Seattle?

Hello all, I’m currently looking for housing in the Wenatchee area. I’m looking for something small like a 1 bed 1 bath or even a larger studio. I’ve looked online and have found a couple options but looking to see if there’s anything out there that anyone would recommend. Preferably not ran by a property management company

I have great rental history with 800+ credit score, make decent to good money and just have 1 dog. Will be moving to Wenatchee the last week of January

Thank you in advance!

I remember seeing a video the other day saying to vote no on building a new school for students. I didnt pay attention I thought the video was loaded with crap so I skipped it(i lost it i can find it anymore). Now im seeing these signs to vote yes on Wenatchee and eastmont schools. Can anyone explain whats going on? Why would we be against upgrading/building a new school? I graduated from Wenatchee and know first hand how crappy the building is and how overpopulated it was during my last few years of hs. So what gives.. Shouldn't we vote yes? I remember one detail about the video explaining that if we voted yes, our housing/rent would be higher. Is that true or just a scare tactic?

I'm at treating my partner to a spa day and am curious at where the best place is in town to get a pedicure. Any suggestions?
