@@LivingInWAState I am still very connected to Eburg... meaning lots of friends there. And I am also a youtuber with 20k followers and I have to say you did a fantastic job with this. Not sure if you were the editor but nice work, I especially loved the way it cut between the people you interviewed.
I love the personal feel of your own Ellensburg journey and how you had a diverse range of the kinds of people that gave their input! It makes me miss living in Ellensburg 😢
Yo Joe! I was born and raised in Ellensburg. The town's official wind gauge was installed outside the Safeway before it was remodeled. The wind gauge was a big heavy iron weight suspended by a massive chain. If the chain got to the 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock positions that was considered a light breeze. 😂 Moving back from Seattle in literally two weeks, so excited!
No way! What a cool story, never knew about that weight and chain! I’d love to find an old picture of that! Glad to hear you are coming back to the sunshine!
Thank you so much! Really had fun sharing about the town we call home, first of a series of videos we are planning to make that highlight what makes this community different!
Thanks for the video! We are putting an offer on a house with acreage in Ellensburg this week. We have some family history in the yakima area, but we are from the west side of the mountains, so this will be a big change for us. We don't want to change anything about Ellensburg, instead we very much looking forward to being absorbed by the community!
Sounds great! Congratulations, very exciting, I hope your offer gets accepted and you close 🎉 This is an awesome place to have acreage! Seriously try the headphone trick on the windy days! Glad for you guys to be moving into our favorite community! It really is all about the people! For instance, we went to Fred Meyer to get groceries today and ran into 5+ people we know and chatted with!
@@LivingInWAState Yeah, the small town vibe was really apparent. From those we talked to it seemed like everyone knew each other. Lots of people were already offering to get us in contact with people who can help make our new home enjoyable, such as local milk farms, electricians, people to help us with our farm plans, etc. Like many others we've driven through Ellensburg many dozens of times and typically stopped there for gas and coffee, but never explored beyond that. Feels like a hidden gem in Washington (there are a few others as well! We've heard good things about the Christmas events in Cle Elum) and I hope it stays that way for a long time. Maybe the wind and occasional wildfire/smoke will help keep the new housing growth to a minimum. Aside from feeling a lot safer in Ellensburg, one of the biggest draws for us was the hope that more people are open to intentional relationships or just more socializing with their neighbors/community. It feels very socially cold on the west side of the mountains, moreso now than ever before, unfortunately. My Wife and I are very social people and it's been draining on us for quite some time now. An example: inviting neighbors over for dinner or other social events and they never accept, but instead engage in small talk only while outside, stuff like that. I'll certainly miss the stormier weather of the westside (I like rain storms), but hopefully the snowy winters in Ellensburg will make up for it. We have a lot to learn about 'rural' living (plowing our own roads, septic and wells, maintaining acreage, etc), but are excited for the new experiences.
Yep, an ol' CWU grad here.. Absolutely love the town, but the relentless wind and the heavy fog that can become trapped in the valley..... I can get to you... But that small town feel is just the best..
Love Eburg! My wife was born there. We lived there when I was in seventh, eighth and ninth grade. Then all of us went back to go to college at Central. Then my daughter went there. It’s definitely changed since 1969 but it has also stayed the same. And the Davidson building got a lot of screen time in your video! 😂
Wow! That’s awesome lots of family history for you! Central was a great University, I am sure that it is very different compared to 1969! And it sure did didn’t it?
As for weather, try living on the edge of town in Richland before the cemetery and vineyards were put in. Chinooks are caused by adiabatic heating and cooling of air masses moving up or down hill.
@@williammitchell8612 love to hear it! We highly recommend it, small town living with affordable cost of living with 300+ days of sun! Where is home now?
I love the outdoors, hiking biking, dirt biking..I didn't hear you mention fishing? Much fishing there? I liked hearing the young lady say it's a slow lifestyle there, having living in the insanity of Seattle for so many years I want to wind up my life with some peace, I want to go fishing with my dog, take long walks without horrific traffic everywhere, as I said I love the outdoors and it's where I want to spend my last days. I having decided on Ellensburg but it's definitley getting higher on my list. Thank you very much for the informational video, it was very relaxing and I just need a rest.
Completely hear you there on the slow pace of life, that and the outdoor lifestyle is a big part of why I stayed here in Ellensburg! I really appreciate your reply! The traffic here is 100% better than anything on the West Side of the state, but lifetime locals would complain about traffic but it’s nothing. As far as fishing I know that the Yakima is a huge draw for fisherman! I can send you a link to Reds Fly shop, they do guided tours just outside of town! You can also fish down at vantage on the Colombia River (25min east) and I’m glad that the video was helpful for you! If you are interested in looking for a place around here, our team is happy to help you make that transition 👍🏻
@LivingInWAState Maybe shoot a quick video of the new Unity Park! You gotta get the Bull in your video if it's going to be truly representative of Eburg!
@@LivingInWAState I think it opens this weekend (or Monday). Amazing how quickly the contractor finished the old bank demo and the new park. I assume they'll have the Bull returned by the grand opening. I know they took it offsite to keep it safe during construction.
What is the breakdown on Asian folks living there? Born in Seattle, move to CA, basically live my whole life there, went to Vancouver Wa just recently and back to Sacramento, CA. But i feel something is still missing. Seattle i love it there as well but the cost and the surrounding area there is too much. A handful of families there and Portland. Vancouver WA was nice but i felt we move too soon there. Kids still young and personal reasons. We might head back to Vancouver WA and stay for a week and see if that is what we want, exlpore other nearby cities. Did you mentioned windy days, man, we get delta breeze over and love it. Amd you mentioned more sunny days comapre to seattle? Vancouver WA was nice but too many grey days even with some break but still...lol. Also, Yakima seem nice but Ellensburg might be what we want that Vancouver WA didn't offer us. Idk. We still in our young 40's. Idk. We want out of California, just saying. Great video. I like to add, No Walmart in Ellensburg..and having the lady said not much supplies when needed, bummer. Maybe Yakima might be it or possible another nearby cities/town.
Really appreciate your thoughts and questions! As jobs have expanded eastward from Seattle, there is a growing diversity in the community which is great to see! Very nice, Northern California is much sunnier than the Seattle/vancouver area! Regarding the sun, all of central Washington has much more sunny days the western Washington the data shows about 70% more sunny days here and is an underrated reason for people Moving to this region. I personally know many people who work in Yakima and live in Ellensburg so the drive is very manageable. Ellensburg is a lot friendlier environment than Yakima and a wonderful place to raise a family. Let me know if you want to know more about the Ellensburg area and if you want to come and visit, could always give you a list of places to check out to get to know the region!

Let’s talk about the pros of living in a city that’s forced to do whatever Seattle wants them to do Don’t forgot about living somewhere that is so accepting they allow (and encourage) men to grow mops on their heads
Well done. Not many "This is 'x' (town, city, area)" videos include the negatives as well as the positives. I don't really care about nightlife, and, as a certified old person, job opportunities aren't important to me personally. I've visited Washington several times, and find it very attractive. A dozen years in Colorado taught me to love the outdoors, so central Washington's climate suits me. Unfortunately, compared to the Midwestern area I live in now, it's probably out of my reach financially.
@@rayschoch5882 thank you! Tried to keep a very honest down to earth opinion of both sides of living here! And very nice, we love the outdoors! Where in the Midwest? Joe played baseball in Iowa for a time.
I lived in shitattle for 2 years. too much human poop on the sidewalks and needles in every public park. Seattle/tacoma are disgusting. not to mention all the loser unemployed protestors.
I grew up in Eburg, and still live here, about 9 months of the year, live down South during the Winter. I hate to see the town I grew up in, change so much. Used to be a farming, ranching, logging town, with a college, and now its a college town, and a retirement town for folks from the Seattle area, and also a bedroom town for Seattle. If the town keeps changing, this old man of 60 plus years will move somewhere else, thats more like what Eburg once was. I know I will get a lot of thumbs down, but im honest how I feel.
@@LivingInWAState Idaho is now too expensive and a lot of rich and/or very well off California Liberals are moving in. They are changing the demographics that made Idaho attractive. They're turning the towns and cities blue and the rot will follow into the school system. No, we're looking hard at Missouri.
I love how in Washington the government will take your children if you don’t agree with their “gender identity”. They also are making everybody safer with all their wonderful Gun laws and new taxes
I've been living in Ellensburg since June 2014, I was born and raised in Seattle. I'm very happy i made the move here

I love how in Washington the government will take your children if you don’t agree with their “gender identity”. They also are making everybody safer with all their wonderful Gun laws and new taxes
