About this Location

Facility Overview

Lot B - Long Term Parking at Pangborn Memorial Airport (EAT) provides dedicated, budget-friendly extended parking for travelers flying out of the Wenatchee Valley. Operated under the Chelan Douglas Regional Port Authority, the facility is designed as an open-air surface parking lot situated just steps from the main passenger terminal building. Its unobstructed, ground-level layout ensures seamless maneuvering for a wide variety of vehicle types. Because there are no overhead clearance beams or multi-story garage ceilings, the lot easily accommodates standard compacts, sedans, full-size pickup trucks, passenger vans, and vehicles equipped with roof racks, ski carriers, or cargo boxes.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Located on Airport Way and Pangborn Drive in East Wenatchee, Lot B sits directly on airport grounds, offering an effortless 1- to 2-minute walk directly into the terminal doors. While primarily serving commercial Alaska Airlines/Horizon Air passengers and regional aviators, the facility is also positioned within quick driving distance of the region’s premier destinations. Within an 8- to 15-minute drive across the Columbia River via State Route 28 and the Senator George Sellar Bridge, visitors can access the bustling Pybus Public Market, the historic downtown Wenatchee core, Wenatchee Riverfront Park, and the Apple Capital Recreation Loop Trail. Sports and live entertainment enthusiasts are also just 12 minutes away from the Town Toyota Center, home to concerts and Wenatchee Wild hockey games, while outdoor adventurers can reach the base of Mission Ridge Ski & Board Resort in roughly 35 minutes.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress and egress are straightforward and hassle-free. Drivers reach the facility via Grant Road or Pangborn Drive, connecting directly from Washington State Route 28 (WA-28) and US-2/US-97. Traffic flow within the lot is organized with clearly marked one-way and two-way driving lanes that lead cleanly to the terminal loop. Local public transit is provided across Chelan and Douglas counties by Link Transit, with on-demand and scheduled route stops connecting East Wenatchee and Wenatchee proper. In addition, regional rideshare drivers (Uber and Lyft), local taxi services, and on-site car rental companies (including Avis, Budget, and Hertz) operate adjacent to the terminal.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Pre-pay for your parking online or via the mobile payment system upon arrival to secure the best standard daily rate and avoid non-payment penalty surcharges.
Ensure you input your exact license plate number accurately when completing payment; parking authorization is verified electronically through license plate recognition.
Physical paper tickets are not mandatory on your dashboard, but retaining your digital confirmation or email receipt is recommended until you return.
During winter months, pack an ice scraper and brush, as Central Washington frequently experiences freezing temperatures and seasonal snowfall.
Arrive at least 60 to 90 minutes prior to scheduled flight departures to park, pay, and walk into the terminal without rushing.
