Holmes

Among the communities of central Washington, Holmes stands out for its setting on the open floor of Kittitas Valley near the Yakima River. This is Washington east of the Cascade Range, where a dry interior and irrigated farmland contrast with the wetter side of the mountains. Holmes lies south of Ellensburg, the county seat and home to Central Washington University. Ellensburg’s annual Kittitas County Fair and Ellensburg Rodeo reflect the area’s lasting connection to ranching and rural life. Broad horizons and working fields give this part of the valley a distinct central-Washington character. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Holmes and Kittitas Valley.
