Wenas is an unincorporated community in Yakima County, Washington, United States. It is adjacent to the Wenas Wildlife Area, located approximately twenty miles northwest of Selah. There are only two or three ranch homes now at Wenas, no businesses or services.
The community developed along Wenas Creek, a favorite hunting location of Native Americans. The name means "last camping" in the Native American language and was spelled Wenass on early maps.[4]
