I moved to Ellensburg just shy of two years ago. I became a Wildcat in pursuit to finish my Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology. My mother is a CWU alumni and swore up and down that Ellensburg is a great place to live. Being from Snohomish, Washington, I was excited to relocate to another small town. The red brick buildings downtown helped me feel right at home here.

Between the years of 1879 and 1889 downtown Ellensburg saw a tremendous amount of growth. In 1886 a train of the Northern Pacific Railroad reached Ellensburg helping to fuel business and population growth.
