County Snapshot
Kittitas County spans from the peaks of the Cascades in the Upper County to arid shrub-steppe in the Lower County.
Agricultural lands specializing in timothy hay production sits between these landscapes. Kittitas County's landscapes provide jobs, expansive wildlife habitat, and endless recreational opportunities. It leaves no wonder why Kittitas County's population is the fourth fastest growing county in Washington. 
While increased population spurs economic growth, the rapid conversion of resource lands into homes is quickly changing the County's rural character. Without linking growth to land conservation, the long-term viability of Kittitas County's agricultural economy and recreational opportunities may be threated. Together, residents of Kittitas County and CLC can make a difference.
Cacade Land Conservancy's main goals in Kittitas County are:
- Conserving working lands
- Advancing recreational opportunities
- Protecting the quality of life for future generations
