Saturday/ Ellensburg and the Wildcats

Central Washington Univesity’s mascot is a ‘wildcat’.

Two beautiful huskies at the Kittitas County Farmers market in downtown Ellensburg. Initiative 522 (poster on the table in the background) is to label genetically modified food.

The historic Davidson Building in downtown Ellensburg, completed in 1890.

Just for fun : here is the same building, circa 1905.

This is a beautiful brick building on North Main Street that houses several businesses.

Here is the beautiful Art Deco entrance to the National Bank of Ellensburg Building. The building was constructed in 1930.

The ‘sitting bull’ statue with cowboy hat radiates a ‘bullish’ personality. A little unnerving, not?

This is Barge Hall, the main administrative building of Central Washington University. The institution was established in 1891 as the Washington State Normal School.

Bouillon Hall houses the CWU Testing Center.

Learn. Do. Live. Sign on a lamp post outside the library.

Nicholson Pavilion has basketball courts inside. We’re headed to Tomlinson Stadium close by for the football game.

The Wildcat mascot is saying hi to the radio station blaring music and announcements.

The start of the game. On the far left there was a billow of white fire extinguisher cloud to add some drama for the entrance of the Wildcats football team. Crimson and black are their colors. They finally came through 27-24 after a deficit of 3-17 !

Bryan and I are headed back to Seattle. This is Old Highway Ten that goes through the town of Cle Ellum before it joins up with I-90 to go over the Cascades. The landscape and vegetation is very, very different from Western Washington across the Cascades.

We have arrived in Seattle. The artwork marks the entrance into the Mount Baker tunnel on I-90 that leads into the Mt Baker neighborhood.
