Book excerpt: Located in the heart of Washington State, Kittitas County is a diverse and beautiful landscape, from the mountains, lakes, and forests in the west to the semiarid shrub-steppe with agricultural lands leading to the Columbia River in the east. When the settlers of Ellensburg sought to break away from Yakima County and establish their own county, they wanted to gain autonomy as well as increase the chances of the county seat, Ellensburg, becoming the state capital. The Washington Territorial Legislature established Kittitas County in 1883, and just a few years later, the arrival of the Northern Pacific Railroad quickly aided in the settling of the county. Soon, coal was discovered in northwestern Kittitas County, which provided a boom in settlement and the expansion of the upper county population. Today, Interstate 90, which follows an old Native American trail, brings people from the Seattle area into Kittitas County, much as the trial has for millennia.

Book excerpt: Peter Fassero, born to Italian immigrants in 1905, lived in Cle Elum, Washington, graduated from Cle Elum High School, attended the University of Washington, worked in his family grocery store – the Economy Grocery - in Cle Elum for 51 years, and devoted a lifetime of public service to the Upper Kittitas County. All of this provided Peter with a keen interest in the history of his home-town area. After retiring from the grocery business in 1972, he began to write a weekly column for the local newspaper, the Northern Kittitas County Tribune, called “Another Story.” Peter’s “Another Story” column documented the stories of the first pioneer families that lived in the Cle Elum area, their traditions and ways of life in the early 1900s, as well as the towns, businesses, schools, mines, homes and farms they built. His columns were not only filled with historical facts, but also contained a good dose of personal stories, anecdotes and fun tidbits about life in the “good old days” of living in the Upper Kittitas County. The Tribune’s readers always looked forward to reading Pete’s next column, to get a glimpse into their past and to see how their ancestors lived. His journalistic endeavors provided a real treasure trove of local history and were enjoyed by readers of the Tribune during the 1970s and 1980s. There have been very few books written about the history of Cle Elum and its surrounding areas. Recognizing this lack of historical record, as well as an ever increasing interest in and emphasis on discovering our past, the Northern Kittitas County Historical Society, in cooperation with the Northern Kittitas County Tribune newspaper, is pleased to reprint a selection of Peter’s most captivating and historic “Another Story” articles and present them here in book form for all to read. This compilation of local stories and photos will not only provide a historical record, but will be a treasured “family” heirloom for all with ties to the Cle Elum area. As Peter would say – “Ciao! Ciao!” (an Italian expression meaning “Hello”, “Good-Bye”, and “at your service!”)
