Favorite places in Ellensburg
Domino’s pizza, I go there every night for pizza. It’s nearby campus, the food’s hot and ready when we get there. Always get the two liters when you get soda, because it’s cheaper per liter.

My favorite destination in Ellensburg is probably the Red Horse Diner. It used to be a gas station and was converted into a restaurant covered in old signs. Everything on the menu is named after a car, so you can add to the feel of being at an old-fashioned gas station. A cool feature when you arrive at the station is that the original gas prices from when it was still being used are stuck on the gas pump.

While I do enjoy the quiet and small-town life Ellens- burg has to offer, my favorite place would have to be the Snoqualmie Pass, because it means I’m going home and get to see my dog.
My favorite place is the trail that goes along E 18th Ave. It’s a fun route to take your dog for a walk, ride your bike along, or go boarding on. It takes you by the obstacle course used by the ROTC and takes you all into North Alder Street Park.
Not only do they have amazing food, it was also where my partner and I went on our first date. We ordered their salmon salad and it was SO GOOD!!
Ringer North! It’s a perfect place to go wading or swimming in the Yakima River with your dogs, it’s relatively lesser known and secluded, a nice little nook of Ellensburg on the way out of town, but watch out for mosquitoes! They’ll eat you alive.
MyfavoriteplaceintownisCentralCityComicShop, a small local business that sells comics, games, figures and generally any nerd thing you could possibly want. It’s a very welcoming environment and I love stopping in to see what new comics they have in stock.
Young T & Tea is a good-vibes Vietnamese/Thai restaurant owned by CWU alum Emmie Nguyen and chef Kien Tran that serves amazing cuisine and fun beverages, including boba tea. Their boba tea drinks range from fruity to sweet, hot to cold, and iced to slushy. The menu is expansive and the banh mi with pork is one of my favorite sandwiches ever. I go for the ambiance set by LED lights, wall art, a fish tank, and So. Many. plants.
Where will you go?
