City of Cle Elum

 
Date Visited:   Sunday, October 13, 2002
City Visited #:   307
County:   Kittitas
Visited With:   Father
City Name History:   River and town bear the Native-American name meaning "swift water." The triple wide streets are due to the nagging of Barbara Steiner Reed, wife of the town's founder, who expected the coal-mining center to become the Pittsburgh of the West and wanted it to surpass its eastern counterpart in beauty.
