I am proud to be a fourth generation Cle Elum resident. Although my office is located in downtown Bellevue, I primarily work out of my home office in Cle Elum.  I find that being a part of my Bellevue office gives my listed properties in the Kittitas County area unique exposure to the greater Seattle Metro area.  I have held a Washington Real Estate license for twenty-three years. My knowledge and enthusiasm for this special part of Washington shows in my desire to share the area's diversity. Activities include golfing at Suncadia, hiking, biking, skiing, fishing, snowmobiling, and horseback riding. Whether it is a home, land, investment opportunity, or vacation retreat, I would be glad to help!

Kittitas County is located in the foothills of the Cascade Mountain Range east of Seattle. Kittitas County consists of nine small towns - Easton, Ronald, Cle Elum, Thorp, Ellensburg, Roslyn, Liberty, Kittitas and Vantage. Four of the towns, Easton, Cle Elum, Ronald and Roslyn (with the historic "Brick Tavern"), are located within seventy-five minutes of the Seattle area. Suncadia, a new golf course and cross-country ski resort, is located between Cle Elum and Roslyn. Suncadia offers a variety of property types, from raw land and condominiums to million dollar estates. Kittitas County offers many diverse settings, from the rugged areas of Lake Cle Elum, Cooper Lake and Salmon La Sac, to the gradual rolling fields of the Teanaway area just east of Cle Elum. Head slightly further east and you'll encounter the fertile area of the "Manastash" with its pastures and farms fed by the Yakima River. Kittitas County's easterly town of Vantage is aired with the mighty Columbia River to the east.

The climate offers beautiful sunny days in the summer with temperatures averaging 83 degrees from mid- June until late September. The winter temperatures average around 30 degrees. The snowfall will have drastic variations depending upon how far east of the Cascades you travel. The towns closer to the foothills, such as Ronald and Roslyn, will see as much as two to five feet of snow, while at the same time no more than a couple of inches of snow will fall in Ellensburg and the town of Kittitas.
