Downtown Wenatchee is changing fast—family-run shops that gave the area its heart are closing as rents double and new developments take over. Luz Covarrubias, who ran Becky’s Beauty Salon for over a decade, had to shut her doors after her rent more than doubled and her building was set for demolition. She’s not alone: several other local businesses have been forced out, making way for apartments and retail. While city leaders say these projects bring jobs and housing, many worry Wenatchee is losing its unique character. What do you think—can growth and small business survive together? #Business #LocalBusiness #Wenatchee
