Silverport Capital takes funding requests by phone and form from businesses in Wenatchee, Washington and nearby towns in Chelan County, WA and Douglas County, WA. This page has notes on each town with its own ZIP counts, and on using assessor records before a lease or a purchase.
East Wenatchee, WA and ZIP 98802
East Wenatchee, WA is in Douglas County, WA, not Chelan County, WA, so county figures on this site do not describe it. ZIP 98802 held 725 employer establishments in 2023, 57.8% with fewer than five employees (ZIP Code Business Patterns, 2023 data, U.S. Census Bureau). Construction led with 175, followed by retail trade with 75 and health care with 64. The city covers a small share of that ZIP's land, so these are ZIP figures, not city figures.

Commercial property for lease in Wenatchee, WA: lease terms to read twice
A lease for commercial space shapes every later funding decision: a partner financing equipment in a leased building wants the lease to outlast the loan.
- The term and every renewal option, with dates.
- Who pays for improvements and who owns them at the end.
- Whether the landlord allows liens on equipment installed in the space.
- Permitted use, and whether the business's use matches the zoning.
- Assignment rights, in case the business is sold.
Using Chelan County, WA assessor maps when a shop outgrows its building
A shop that has outgrown its building and is looking at a larger parcel can use the Chelan County Assessor's parcel maps to confirm boundaries, size and the owner of record before talking terms. The assessor and zoning guide walks through it.
The Chelan County, WA Assessor's office and the records it keeps
The Chelan County Assessor values real and personal property for taxes and keeps parcel records: owner of record, parcel number, assessed value, land and improvement values, and property characteristics. Those records answer practical questions for a business owner before a lease or a purchase.
Searching Chelan County, WA assessor records by owner before a hotel purchase
A buyer looking at a hotel or motel can search the assessor's records by owner name to find every parcel the seller holds: the building, an overflow lot, a separate parcel for a sign or a laundry building. Missing a parcel in a purchase agreement is a problem a partner will find later.
- Search by the seller's name and every entity name the seller uses.
- Match each parcel number to the purchase agreement.
- Compare assessed value with the asking price, remembering the two measure different things.
- Read the hotel loans page for what a business loan can and cannot cover in a hotel purchase.
