Centered on Ellensburg and Central Washington University, 98926 blends a historic brick downtown with wide-open Kittitas Valley scenery, four-season weather (bright, breezy summers and snowy winters), and easy I-90 access. Locals frequent Irene Rinehart Riverfront Park and Rotary Park’s dog area, hike Manastash and Umtanum canyons, bike the Palouse to Cascades trail, and fish or float the Yakima River; festival season peaks with the Ellensburg Rodeo and the summer farmers market. Daily life feels collegial and community-minded, with staples like Safeway and Grocery Outlet, coffee at D&M Coffee, comfort fare at The Palace Cafe and The Tav, brunch at The Yellow Church Cafe, and pints at Whipsaw Brewing, plus workouts at the Kittitas Valley Memorial Pool & Fitness Center and the Ellensburg Racquet & Recreation Center. Zillow market trends show a recent median rent around $1,700, with most listings over the past few months roughly $1,200–$2,300, and a mix of pet-friendly rentals near campus and quiet streets on the valley’s edges.

Local university presence adds vibrancy, events, and youthful energy.
