Kittitas County






	Cle Elum / Roslyn Chamber of Commerce	PO Box 43 Cle Elum 98922-0043 509.674.5958
	Upper Kittitas County encompasses the I-90 corridor from Snoqualmie Pass Summit east to the Indian John Hill area and includes the communities of Easton, Ronald, Roslyn, Cle Elum, South Cle Elum and Snoqualmie Pass. In the 1880's coal was discovered and the cities of Roslyn and Cle Elum were founded. During 1886 and 1929 coal miners representing over 20 different nationalities worked and lived in the Upper County. In 1963 the last coal mine closed and the area's most important industry became logging which had been expanding since original settlement. The Upper County has three museums that depict area history and are open weekends Memorial Day to Labor Day. Because of the rich ethnic background, the area still celebrates and honors its past. Cle Elum (clë elúm), the Indian name, "Tie-el-lum", means "Swift Water".	map this chamber with google
