Parking at WVC

Wenatchee Campus Parking Permits 

WVC has switched 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 a permit. Image showing QR code to access the HONK mobile parking permit system

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.
