Kittitas County

Beautiful central Washington is located between the Columbia River and Snoqualmie Pass. We experience a definite spring, summer, winter, and fall; a typical year offers over 300 days of sunshine. Kittitas County is a rural area of Washington State with multiple towns, with Ellensburg being the largest. We have the perfect location for year-round outdoor activities, events, and local wineries/breweries with a short drive to the Greater Seattle area.
