Ok-Wen hours

[Grumpy]

Wenatchee, WA— Services at some Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest offices will be reduced on May 25 to accommodate administrative training for front-desk information specialists. In an effort to better serve the public, front desk visitor information specialists need to periodically receive training.



On May 25 all offices, excluding the Tonasket Ranger District, will remain open. However, not all services or permit issuing capabilities will be available due to the training day. We appreciate everyone’s patience. The Forest encourages those individuals desiring to purchase permits or maps to visit one of our offices offering full services or to plan ahead and purchase these items during normal business hours on May 24 and again on May 26 when full business services will resume.
