Temporary kitchen rental for Chelan County
Temporary modular kitchens are how Chelan County facilities keep serving through a closure. A modular commercial kitchen rental brings the cooking line to the site, with kitchen setup for renovations planned around your schedule. Crews working in Wenatchee and Chelan often share a kitchen plan, so one rental can serve more than one site.
Common choices include the 38ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200 to 220A), the 28ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200A) and the 40ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200 to 220A). Each model page lists the equipment and the electrical service.
A kitchen trailer needs a level area, a path for delivery, the right electrical service and water and wastewater connections. Health and permit steps differ by jurisdiction, so check with Chelan County before you schedule the opening day. Mobile kitchens can be rented for one week or on monthly terms, including long-term leases for work that runs through a full construction season. Check the authority that covers the site itself; what cleared in Cashmere is no guarantee for Leavenworth.

Chelan County: emergencies, projects, access and costs
Emergencies that shaped recovery needs near Chelan County
Federal records show Chelan County designated in 51 declarations since 1972, led by wildfire (34 declarations) and severe storms (7 declarations). Wenatchee has its own page with its county's federal declarations, which helps when a project spans both.
The most recent is Wildfires (emergency declaration, EM-3650), declared August 3, 2026, with the incident beginning August 1, 2026. Wildfire response brings long shifts for responders and rebuilding crews, and smoke or utility loss can take permanent kitchens out of service. The latest major disaster declaration is Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4906), declared April 7, 2026. By incident type, the count is wildfire 34, severe storms 7, flooding 6, coastal storm 1 and earthquake 1. By decade: 1970s 2, 1980s 1, 1990s 3, 2000s 17, 2010s 20 and 2020s 8. The records also list Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (EM-3629, December 12, 2025), Lower Sugarloaf Fire (FM-5614, September 26, 2025), Severe Winter Storms, Snowstorms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding (DR-4650, March 29, 2022), Twentyfive Mile Fire (FM-5414, August 18, 2021) and Red Apple Fire (FM-5398, July 14, 2021).
Between 2016 and 2025 the Storm Events Database recorded 56 county-based event records in Chelan County, with flood events the most common at 49. NOAA's largest reported property loss there is $200,000, from a flood in December 2025. After a flood the pad matters as much as the unit: a rental kitchen needs firm, well-drained ground and a clear route in.
The National Interagency Fire Center maps 18 wildfires of 1,000 acres or more that started in Chelan County since 2016, together covering about 342,488 acres. The largest was the Little Giant fire in 2026, at 172,912 acres. Fire weather means planned power cuts as well as fires, and a walk-in cooler does not keep product cold through a long shutoff.
A declaration designates an area for federal assistance; it does not describe damage at any one address.
Major construction near Chelan County
Since October 2021, 17 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more have named Chelan County as the place of work. In September 2021, the Department of the Interior awarded a $17 million contract for “Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery Surface Water Intake Fish Screen and Fish Passage Project Phase I” in Chelan County, with work running to February 2024 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $7.2 million Department of the Interior contract, “Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery Pilot Circular Tank and Solids Handling Project Leavenworth, WA,” starting September 2020 in Chelan County (award record). The Department of the Interior committed $3.1 million to “Wa-Leavenworth Nfh-Pipeline Repair” in Chelan County, awarded July 2026 (award record). Another public record is “GAOA Selkirks to Surf Transportation Package 1,” a $1.6 million Department of Agriculture contract from July 2025 in Chelan County (award record). Crews on projects like this rarely have a restaurant nearby, which is the case for cooking on site with a rented kitchen and a dishwashing trailer. A project in Chelan, about 4,462 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.
Renovation projects that close kitchens in Chelan County
No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for Chelan County. The nearest is in Douglas County, about 44 miles away. The Department of Defense committed $5 million to “PH Hydraulic and Electric Elevators Replacement” in Douglas County, awarded May 2025 (award record). Building repair and modernization work often closes a kitchen for part of the project, which is when a temporary kitchen on a lease keeps meals going. The closure date drives the plan in Cashmere too.
Emergency equipment access around Chelan County
In Washington, the Washington Emergency Management Division (EMD) works with counties on emergency operations. Official staging areas and the roads that connect them to local emergency-management hubs are published by those agencies and should be checked there. Staging and access details differ again in Leavenworth, so check the published sources for that area before planning a route.
What a kitchen rental costs in Chelan County
Price depends on the model, the rental period, delivery and setup requirements and the utilities on site. Starting prices for kitchens near Chelan County include the 24ft Mobile Kitchen from $4,995, the 40ft Mobile Kitchen from $9,995 and the 28ft Mobile Kitchen from $6,995, and prices may vary. See the equipment pages for dishwashing and refrigeration. Entiat is quoted on the same factors, but a different address can change delivery and setup terms.
Starting prices are guides, and prices may vary with location, rental length, delivery, setup and utilities. A written quote states the equipment, the rental period and what is included.

Dishwashing and emergency refrigeration in Chelan County
Dishwashing trailers cover the other half of the line for Chelan County facilities: low-temperature and high-temperature machines, push-through and conveyor styles, in several lengths. Start with the 30ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer. Warewashing needs the same hot water and drain plan in Leavenworth as it does here.
When a compressor quits, product loss follows within hours. Emergency refrigerated trailers, such as the 20ft LT Refrigerated Trailer, are rented to restaurants, hotels, hospitals and institutions around Chelan County. A call about emergency refrigeration from Entiat starts with the same three questions: what failed, what is inside and where the trailer can sit.
NOAA's 1991 to 2020 county normals put the average January low in Chelan County at 22°F and the average July high at 75°F, with about 38 inches of precipitation a year. January lows run about 6 degrees colder than the average Washington county. A mixed climate means a kitchen trailer sees freezing mornings and hot afternoons in the same year, and the setup allows for both.
