Town Toyota Center is a 4,300-seat multi-purpose arena in Wenatchee, Washington. The arena was built and is owned and managed by the Wenatchee Public Facilities District, or PFD. It is the home of the Wenatchee Figure Skating Club, Wenatchee Curling Club, Wenatchee Wild North American Hockey League team.

During planning and early construction, the arena was known as the Greater Wenatchee Regional Events Center, but in August 2008, a local auto dealer bought the naming rights of the arena for an undisclosed amount, giving the arena its current name.

Default

The arena went into default in December 2011 and is expected to lose $400,000 in 2012.^[7] A state bailout proposed in 2011 would loan WA money to Wenatchee to temporarily bail out the bond payments. The loan would be repaid back with a 0.2% sales tax increase in Wenatchee.^[8]
