Cle Elum is known as the gateway to the Cascade Mountains. Easily accessed off Interstate 90 and only 85 miles from Seattle, Cle Elum is quickly becoming a second home 'hot-spot' for many. Four seasons of recreational opportunites -- three rivers flow through the valley for fishing and rafting, three lakes to choose from if boating is your pleasure, and thousands of acres of National Forest offer endless trails for hiking, biking, camping, and equestrian. You can also find downhill skiing, cross country trails, snowmobiling and yes, world class golf in Cle Elum!
