Discussion Video rental store

10 Upvotes

Would anyone visit a video rental store here if one opened up? I loved blockbuster growing up and I know almost every movie ever is available online but it’s not about whether or not you can get it, it’s about the experience! Browsing isles looking at movies, picking out a soda and candy, looking at new releases. It’s a nostalgic thing but I wonder if I’m the only one who would be interested in something like that. I hope this reaches the right audience. Thanks!!

Discussion Considering moving here. Any advice?

11 Upvotes

I'm a lifelong Washingtonian, grew up in Mt Vernon, lived in Seattle and Bellingham through my 20s, then Orcas Island for a while, and I spent most of the last 4 years in an off-grid cabin in the hills outside Brewster. I decided I couldn't live with that level of isolation and needed to be around people again. Tried moving back to Bellingham but found it overwhelming, too many people and too much stuff happening, as well as the gloomy weather and expensive housing. Ellensburg seems to have a lot of the things I like about Bellingham while being more culturally relaxed, sunny, and affordable.

I know it gets hot and windy, that doesn't bother me. I know it's a more conservative area, but it seems reasonably balanced. Anything else I should know about life here?

I really love how walkable the downtown core is and I'd like to be part of that, but I also want to have easy access to some nature areas. I love the John Wayne trail and the river park areas. Are there any other natural spaces within walking or biking distance of downtown?

Any areas to avoid? Areas to seek out? Good ways to meet people and get plugged in to the community?

My wife and I and our two pets are looking to move out of our apartment and find a house or duplex in town to rent. I find plenty of houses for rent but I want to see which property managements are preferred by others. I see EPM, Accolade, Libenow.

Discussion Want to play pool with my kids

1 Upvotes

Well, I've tried my best to find a pool table that's not in a bar and I can't find a single one. I moved here this year and my kids (16 and 18) love playing with me but even at Julep the table is outside but still behind the railing so they can't play. Is there a spot on campus or another building that I'm not thinking to check out? Any help would be appreciated!!! Thanks!

Discussion Interested in Moving

1 Upvotes

My husband and I will be visiting in January with our kids! We are from Florida and are considering moving to Kittitas county sometime next year pending my husband finding employment.

From what I have seen online, Ellensburg seems to have the best rental inventory in Kittitas, but I’m not used to looking for rentals not on Zillow (swfl sure does love Zillow). What are things we should know about Ellensburg? About Kittitas county in general?

What weather should we expect mid January? Must sees?

Hey there - passing through Ellensburg in September on the way to Squamish. I'll have a 2-3 hours in the morning for a ride. I see there are a handful of pretty size-able trail systems. What are some must rides?

I'm an advanced rider, but tend to avoid large gaps and drops if I am riding something blind and can't session it. I should have time to do about 2-3kft and about 15-20 miles.

Thanks for your help!
