How to travel to Cle Elum
90 miles east of Seattle on I-90 over Snoqualmie Pass. 30 miles west of Ellensburg. On a good day and the trip from Seattle can be made in about an hour and a half, but in the winter time you will want to check with the gov/traffic/passes/snoqualmie Washington State Department of Transportation as the pass is notorious for closing at the most inconvenient times. Other than that the only way in to town is on Highway 97 from Wenatchee.
Get Around
You really need a car. A small town of less than 1800 and there is no public transportation and in the east side of town not even any sidewalks. A bike can work, but getting out of town there are lots of hills and the weather can change really quickly. You will need AC in the summer. In the winter and there is snow on the ground and probably ice as well. Having snow tires is the best, but chains are always a good thing to have in the mountains, and a lot of the time you need them to cross Snoqualmie Pass.
