Facility Overview
Situated in the bustling Sunnyslope commercial corridor of north Wenatchee, 150 Easy St Parking offers accessible, ground-level parking at the northern gateway to the Wenatchee Valley. Located on the property of Cascade Subaru and the Cascade Autocenter commercial campus at 150 Easy Street, this facility features a wide, paved, open-air surface lot designed for seamless vehicular ingress and egress. Because the entire property is an open-sky surface lot with no low-hanging overhead ceilings or parking deck barriers, it easily accommodates all vehicle classes—from compact passenger sedans and hybrid commuter cars to lifted 4x4 pickup trucks, full-size SUVs with roof boxes or bicycle racks, high-roof conversion vans, and commercial service vehicles.
The property is organized with wide drive aisles and clearly painted stall markings that allow drivers to navigate and reverse without the tight pinch points common in multi-tier urban garages. Ample turning radii and dual-lane access lanes ensure smooth maneuvering even during busy retail and service center hours.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Arriving at 150 Easy Street is exceptionally straightforward. Motorists traveling east or west on US-2 / US-97 or heading south down WA-97A from Chelan and Entiat can exit directly onto Easy Street or Penny Road. The local arterial network was specifically designed to handle high commercial and recreational traffic volumes, minimizing bottlenecks even during peak commute times.
For multi-modal transit travelers, the site is directly adjacent to the WSDOT Easy Street Park and Ride facility situated across the street, as well as the Olds Station transit corridor. Link Transit operates scheduled regional bus lines nearby, including Route 22 (connecting Wenatchee, Cashmere, and the Bavarian mountain village of Leavenworth) and Route 28. Columbia Station in downtown Wenatchee is easily reachable via a brief bus connection, providing access to Amtrak’s Empire Builder passenger rail service and intercity bus routes.
