Wenatchee Campus Parking Changes

Changes to WVC's parking permit system have arrived for fall quarter 2024. WVC is switching to HONK, a mobile parking permit system, instead of physical hanging permits. Drivers will need to scan a QR code that is available on parking lot signage and on the image below, create an account, input their license plate number, and purchase a permit.   You can also visit the HONK website to purchase your permit.

For fuel efficient, senior citizen, dorm, and employee reserved parking, please see the WVC Cashier on the first floor of Wenatchi Hall.

Parking facilities at Wenatchee Valley College are provided for the convenience of students and staff. The traffic and parking regulations established are for the safety and convenience of pedestrians and drivers and to ensure orderly operation.
