I WAS BORN IN EIIEN SBURG LOVE lt very much good place ♥️

Love this place. Easy to get what you need in town or in Issaquah. Moved here in 2008 when I could afford 10 acres. The elk bed down on my property (note: on a rainy day the herd smells like a huge wet dog). I consider myself very lucky.

Affordable housing??? Ya right

Yeah, the wind sucks which I hate!! Also, it’s to isolated!! Love the area but not somewhere I would want to live.

What it all fuck up down cle elum suck it was nice 40 year too much garbage here you guys full of shit

The traffic is so bad and backed up in Cle Elum. Born and raised in Washington. The west is coming here. Not much of a industry here.

I would want to do some gem searching. Right now, my mind is blank on what it was. 🥴

Give you my information.I don't think so simpy boy

IT SMELLS LIKE COW POOP THERE.

Traffic is definitely getting worse during the summer months through town on Fridays going east and on Sunday going west, I can’t wait for winter 🥶 and traffic will be much lighter, I live in Cle Elum and go to work in Ellensburg and rarely take I-90 to and from work, as for grocery shopping we go to Ellensburg, Yakima/Union Gap and sometimes to the Wenatchee Costco.

Been there a couple times. Such a beautiful place to visit.

Music way too loud - can't hear you.

Would love a Cul-de-sac home! Quieter with no through traffic!

It was beautiful ad for a home. It covered everything. 3:09 😊 3:09 3:09 3:09 😊

Such a beautiful Main Floor Primary Suite opportunity in this well maintained home, and the Privacy & Quiet Setting makes it a little Oasis here in The Burg near CWU !

Thanks for the video! We are putting an offer on a house with acreage in Ellensburg this week. We have some family history in the yakima area, but we are from the west side of the mountains, so this will be a big change for us. We don't want to change anything about Ellensburg, instead we very much looking forward to being absorbed by the community!

I love Ellensburg and trying to talk my wife in us retiring here. I love the fly fishing on the Yakima!

There definitely should be limit on outsiders especially coasties

I came to Ellensburg for education in the late 90's and never left. I am a transplanted coasty (grew up in Renton, WA). I found the biggest shock was just how slowed down life is here. I has been a great place to raise kids.

Which white ethnicity is most prominent in ellensburg? Is it Irish, German, Scottish, English or what?

That is a cool little building for sure.

Honestly, who needs 2600 square feet anymore? That's just space to heat, cool, light, insure, and maintain. I'll take a 600 square foot a-frame with a walk around deck any day.

Yes, it's a wonderful little city. I'd invite anybody who's interested to search for the Ellensburg song here on youtube. But please don't move here, we've got enough neighbors. 😂

I noticed that you didn't mention the wind. I think it's worth addressing.

Fantastic! I want to live there!

Full circle for me; went to Central from 1991-94 and lived in several states for my job and me and my wife decided to retire here. Love it, especially the wind and small town atmosphere. I sure hope the cost of living won’t be like west of the cascades but unfortunately, that’s up to more people moving out here.😳

Sorry but CWU started as a normal school (taught teachers) than it was a state college. It didn't become a university until late 70s

Great insightful history of Ellensburg, Yakima Valley is my home. ❤

Sadly, nothing for sale under $1 Million. Beautiful location though.

Cle Elum is my hometown, lived there 1961-1968. My grandparents lived there 1949 until they passed away in the 90s. I remember when Cle Elum had no traffic lights. lol

Recuerdo aún la Deliciosa comida en ese lugar.Hace un año.😊🙏🙏

Estoy encantada con lo bello de Washington State. Ellensburg es lindo! Ya quiero estar allí de nuevo. 🤗 Muchas gracias por estos hermosos videos. 😊🙏

Seattle is not the greater city in Washington state. They invade our smaller communities, raising all costs in the area😢

Well done. Not many "This is 'x' (town, city, area)" videos include the negatives as well as the positives. I don't really care about nightlife, and, as a certified old person, job opportunities aren't important to me personally. I've visited Washington several times, and find it very attractive. A dozen years in Colorado taught me to love the outdoors, so central Washington's climate suits me. Unfortunately, compared to the Midwestern area I live in now, it's probably out of my reach financially.

I lived in shitattle for 2 years. too much human poop on the sidewalks and needles in every public park. Seattle/tacoma are disgusting. not to mention all the loser unemployed protestors.

I'm in Texas. No limit how many days we can Airbnb our home. Washington and Oregon only allows a host to Airbnb 95 days? What's up with that?

This is such a relatable statement!

I loved my college years in Ellensburg. Great place to live.

Yes, the wind is unique, but it's such a great energy source. I bet a small windfarm would be enough to power the entire town.

Worst part of Ellensburg is the growth. I remember Ellensburg in the 80's and it was perfect when I would ride th bus over and babysit my cousin for a week.

You forgot to mention Mel’s Hole.

Who watchinig this video actually lives in Cle Elum? please comment below so we can see what you think

Great video, always more that can be shared but hard to pack it into such a short video. Good job.

Major CON increasingly difficult if not impossible to get homeowners insurance it is a matter of time when Cle Elum Ridge will burn not If it will 🔥 Straight from the DNR.

I struggle to find traffic being manageable. I recently brought property out that way and am living out of a camper while I build my home. I juggle living in both Gig Harbor while I work in SeaTac a few days out of the week on land I’m renting and living off of my land during my off days in Cle Elum in the mean time. When do you feel the Highway may because “easier”?

Every liberal who moved to cle elum in the past decade is exactly what's wrong with Cle Elum. Bunch of rich losers who ruin everything they touch. Move back to Seattle with Inslee

Affordability hahahaha OK too busy here anymore its not the cle elum I grew up in can't go anywhere on weekends with bumper to bumper traffic. So stay away people

Smokey's BBQ is in Ellensburg.

It's important to have these kinds of discussions. If you aren't willing to believe that the city is good place to live it never will be. Everything stated is true and Cle Elum is a wonderful place to live.

Ive lived in cle elum for my entire life. It is hard to live here. Ive been pushed out of affordable housing these last 5 years due to AirBNBs, vacation rentals, cost of goods skyrocketing. Many many locals have called this place home their whole lives, and are being priced out of living here. The locals cherish this place and despise when people disrespect our little town. They are not fond of the gentrification. Alot of us small town folks are barely able to afford one home, while others buy a second home for 1 million plus and raise the property taxes and the market value. Our infrastructure is not designed for the amount of people flooding here. Healthcare workers and veterinarians are shortstaffed, overworked, and few. We have one grocery store. We have 4 stoplights. The winters here are much harder than you described.
