The Wenatchee Fire Station No. 1 is a historic fire station in Wenatchee, Washington. It was built in 1929 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004 as Wenatchee Fire Station #1.
It is significant as a work of architect Ludwig O. Solberg. It includes a five-story tower, which serves both as a hose tower and as a firefighting training tower.
According to its NRHP nomination, "The building's symmetry and classical detailing play heavily upon the Beaux Arts styling, while the hose tower/practice tower owes it design influence to a Gothic church steeple."
