My name is Katie, and I am a Senior at Central Washington University currently pursuing my degree in Public Relations. Originally from Kent, WA, I transferred from Green River Community College as a junior to complete my degree. At first, I was unsure of my decision to live in such a small town, but the people and charm turned my views around, and I am pleased to say I have fallen in love with the town of Ellensburg.

Do you wish you had more time?
This statement is a dilemma for most of us. Most everyone is passionate about downtown … beautiful planters, bike racks, benches, and of course wonderful events… just to name a few!

Everyone has their own introduction to the EDA. I would assume that most introductions come through what I would call the front end; seeing the lighting projects, trash cans, bike racks, flowers etc. and at some point connect the dots that the Ellensburg Downtown Association is responsible for them. That was not my experience.
