Tucked into the Kittitas Valley east of the Cascade Range, Kittitas is a place whose character is shaped by its dry climate and irrigated agricultural land. The Yakima River flows through the valley south of town, part of a basin where water management has long made farming possible. Kittitas grew in the railroad era and remains a small community on the Interstate 90 corridor between Seattle and central Washington’s interior. Its surroundings are defined by hay fields, grazing country and working farmland rather than dense urban development. The wider county also hosts the Ellensburg Rodeo, an annual event held in nearby Ellensburg since 1923.
