Massive glaciers carved soaring peaks and sprawling valleys. The upper Kittitas County region has been the setting for one of America’s longest stories of intertwining lives: the native Yakama, the prospectors who came to pan for gold, the miners who came to dig the coal for the Great Northern Railroad, the pioneers from every corner of the globe, and devoted cattle ranchers, farmers, and centuries of settlers looking for a better life.

Historic Mining Town

The town of Cle Elum (population 1,792) lies two miles east of Tumble Creek. In the Native American Yakama language, Cle Elum means “swift water.” This was the traditional hunting and fishing grounds of the native inhabitants for centuries. As pioneers began to cross and settle the Mountain West, coal was discovered here. From the late 1800’s through the closing of the historic Roslyn No. 9 mine in 1963, life here revolved around the coal mines. At Tumble Creek, we treasure and honor all those who came before and strive to preserve the history of all those who graced this extraordinary land.
