Well ARPANET does not exist anymore, it was decommissioning on February 28, 1990.

During its period of operation the ARPANET expanded from 4 nodes in two western states (California & Utah) in 1969 to many millions scattered across all 50 states of the US and connecting into many others national computer networks around the world.

So yes, ARPANET was a wide area network (i.e. WAN) from the day it sent its first successful message (at 10:30 pm on October 29, 1969 from Boelter Hall student programmer Charley Kline, transmitted from UCLA's SDS Sigma 7 Host computer to the Stanford Research Institute's SDS 940 Host computer) until the day it was decommissioned.
