Located in the center of Washington State, Ellensburg is less than two hours southeast from downtown Seattle and only minutes from world-class outdoor recreation. Home to Central Washington University, a stop on the professional rodeo circuit and an old downtown district of brick buildings from the 19th century, Ellensburg offers the amenities of the city with small town charm. Real estate options consist of single-family homes, condominiums, townhouses and land lots. With just over 16,000 residents, the city is situated just east of the Cascade Range. The surrounding Kittatas Valley is known for having a drier climate than Seattle’s. A popular stop with travelers, Ellensburg hosts visitors to the Gorge Amphitheater, Grand Coulee Dam, Cashmere, Yakima, Roslyn and the new Suncadia Resort to name a few. Residents can visit the Washington Wine Country, raft, fly fish or play in the Yakima River or check out the shopping and cultural benefits of old downtown. The “6 brick blocks,” erected after the fire of 1889, offers museums, art galleries, antiques and fine restaurants to its populace in lovingly restored antique buildings. Brick sidewalks, beautiful parks, vintage accents set the mood, along waterways and shade trees. A “freeway city,” Ellensburg’s proximity to major transportation on route I-90, bids a strong economy for businesses taking advantage of the traffic. Perhaps the finest feature of Ellensburg is the valley in which it resides, boasting hiking, river rafting, fly fishing, horseback riding, snowshoeing, snowmobiling and cross country skiing. Residents can also engage in the local arts and culture scene by experiencing various galleries or theatre or musical performances.
