***Ellensburg!*** (Sing to the tune of "Hollywood") I guess this is technically "Thorp" but it's the landmark I always used to note my arrival or departure of the Ellensburg area.
Now it's Ellensburg, the sprawl...
Don't blink! "First & Last Chance Tavern"
Leaving Ellensburg from the fair grounds area I continued east to see what was over the hill.

Thank you for this thread. I went to grade school at Washington Elementary. I remember painting on those windows as a kid. I lived above the fairgrounds and would watch the rodeo from up above in the back yard. Memory Lane...
I like this picture The downtown has some interesting and quaint buildings and kind of reminds me of Twin Falls, Idaho and Baker City, Oregon.

Every time I'm on my way to Walla Walla I stop in Cle Elum and Yakima but neglect Ellensburg and Wenatchee... I suppose this is a reminder to give them a look-see. Nice Work!
Iadoregon: You're welcome. The former Washington School is a real nice building. I can see why City Hall moved in. That, plus it looks like a short walk to CWU's administration building.
Sawtooth: Yea I liked that building too. Maybe I'll get to visit those other towns some day.
Hellachans: There's something psychologically satisfying about getting past those mountains south of Ellensburg when doing the Walla Walla or Tri-Cities trip.
