Kittitas County is home to Central Washington University, which is located in its county seat, Ellensburg. Traditionally home to a farming-based economy, Kittitas County has retained its agricultural roots, notably producing large yields of Timothy grass and alfalfa hay for racehorses, which is then exported internationally. Despite Kittitas County’s reliance on agriculture, the local and state government represent a large portion of county wages, primarily due to the university.
