Cle Elum

90 miles east of Seattle on I-90 over Snoqualmie Pass. 30 miles west of Ellensburg. On a good day, 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 Washington State Department of Transportation (http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/t...) as the pass is notorius for closing at the most inconvient times. Other than that the only way in to town is on Highway 97 from Wenatchee.
