The entire focus of the site is what's happening in this awesome place we call home in one centralized and easy-to-use place. The site is always free to use and to submit events with content and resources that are relevant and current to Kittitas County. It is managed and curated by locals who live and work here year around. We also have resource links for those visiting such as weather and road info as well as the Best of Kittitas County with more to come.

The site is end user focused and aims to bring people to together. After many hours of brainstorming, the following will generally not be accepted: 1.Anything that aims to harm vulnerable communities or your neighbors. Anything that might compromise the safety of our community members will be researched and verified with said community. To reiterate the harm principle: “your rights end where my nose begins” so be the person your dog thinks you are and your mother brags about. 2.In an effort to be inclusive, free from partisan influence and represent the county in its entirety; events promoting political activity will take a cue from the Hatch Act. Fully participating in your democracy is encouraged but the following will generally not be accepted a.Fundraisers for a specific political party or candidate. For example, an all-you-can-eat pasta dinner fundraiser to elect Joe Tagliatelle of the Flying Spaghetti Monster Party to Congress would not be appropriate. b.Events intended to influence election outcomes or discourage voting. c.This is an evolving policy but activities that are a part of core business operations such as happy hours, daily specials and hours of operations which can include classes. The Chamber of Commerce or Downtown Association may be a better option for that type of marketing. As much as we all love Taco Tuesday, we don't want to be overwhelmed with everyone's Taco Tuesday. Tacos and Trivia Tuesday? Now, we're taco-ing.

Events can be submitted from desktop or mobile by clicking on the Submit An Event button on the top left corner.

Absolutely! Crowd-sourcing helps in that whole community community building thing I've been blabbing about and it makes life easier. In the contact form box at the end, you can put you name and/or that you are submitting on behalf of whatever organization is putting on the event (E.G. On behalf of the Ellensburg Downtown Association). That prompts me to review the information from that source and puts you off the hook so to speak. Having a website to reference really helps with that process. Your email will then only be used to acknowledge your submission and let you know when it was published to the calendar.

I take digital privacy and security very seriously. Your phone or email will only be used for three things: To notify you 1) when your event has been successfully submitted and up for review, 2) if and only if there is further clarification needed and 3) when your event has been approved or in the limited case, denied. Further discussion is welcome for the unlikely occurrence that your event is denied and an explanation will be given. Your email will not be used for anything nefarious or obnoxious. If you still don't believe me, “hide my email” is an awesome tool. Honestly, I'm a millennial and stopped regularly using the 'phone' part of my phone a long time ago. It would be a strange day indeed if I called or texted regarding your submission. That said, email is preferred.
