It is located near the intersection of Interstate 90 and Interstate 82. For more information about the city, see the Wikipedia entry. There are a number of great reasons to visit this charming little town. Here are some of the most popular ones. You&#8217;ll love the history, nature, and shopping. And you&#8217;ll be in a great location to get to the airport or the university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town of Ellensburg grew significantly between 1878 and 1883. The town founded its first bank and organized Hook and Ladder Company Number 1. It published its first newspaper on July 12, 1883. The city became the county seat of Kittitas County in 1883, when the population was only 2,768. In 1883, Ellensburg was incorporated. The town was incorporated as a town on November 26, under the territorial act. The second charter, issued by the Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Washington, was passed on January 28, 18686. The first election was held in February 1886, and the first council meeting was held on March 2, 1886.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ellensburg&#8217;s downtown is beautiful, with historic 19th-century buildings. The vibrant downtown is home to a variety of small businesses, including Winegar&#8217;s Coffee and Creamery. In addition to ice cream, Winegar&#8217;s also serves coffee and is home to Whipsaw, which features locally-made ice cream. In the late 1800s, the community was hit by a nationwide financial panic that devastated the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first official Ellensburg Rodeo was held on September 13-15, 1923. Although smaller rodeos had occurred periodically in the Kittitas Valley, the town planned to make the first event a major event. The event sold out and quickly became one of the country&#8217;s top-paying rodeos. Today, the city of Ellensburg is home to the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRORA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several places to visit in Ellensburg. A popular brewery is the Iron Horse Brewery, which has an Irish-themed brew named Irish Death. There are plenty of art galleries in Ellensburg, including murals and old advertisements. A brewpub in downtown is located next to a production facility. It has two different locations, one for dogs and one for smaller dogs. The brewpub offers tours of the facility on a monthly basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The historic downtown area of Ellensburg is a popular tourist destination. Visitors to the town can see local history through its many buildings and parks. The downtown area was also designated a National Register of Historic Place in 1977, making it a popular destination for families and children alike. At the end of the day, this charming town is a great place for a family vacation. A visit to the city is not complete without a brewery tour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The city of Ellensburg is located in Kittitas County, Washington.
