If you're traveling by Greyhound east of the Cascade Mountains along I-90, your first major stop will be
ELLENSBURG
, a dusty little town with fetching nineteenth-century red-brick architecture, a state police training academy, a region al university, and not much else except for the
Ellensburg Rodeo
, held over Labor Day weekend. Featuring Stetson-wearing cowhands roping steers, riding bulls, and braving bucking broncos, the rodeo is a rather big deal for the area. To get tickets (starting at $10), call the Rodeo Ticket Office (tel 509/962-7831 or 1-800/637-2444,
).
Greyhound stops at Okanogan St and Eighth Avenue. The
visitors center
, 801 S Ruby St (Mon-Fri 8am-5pm, Sat 10am-2pm; tel 509/925-3137,
), provides maps and hotel options; a safe choice is
Ellensburg Inn
, 1700 Canyon Rd (tel 509/925-9801; $75-100). The art-deco
Valley Café
, 103 W Third Ave (tel 509/925-3050), is the nicest place in town to eat.
