We will continue to provide the Cle Elum "This is How We Do"guide,the Chamber's Central Washington Visitors Guide,the Tribune's Explore Kittitas County guide including the local Visitors'Map at our registration booth and in the Park office.We also have a link on our website and Facebook to the Central Washington Color.com website and actively direct people to the information available there as well as the Chamber of Commerce website. We intend to continue to revamp and reintroduce a program developed in 2018 with businesses around Kittitas County that encourages Park visitors to stop by their location and identifies the visitors as coming from the Park. We are doing a complete overhaul of our user experience starting with enhanced digital mapping,upgrading our website to facilitate online marketing and access from handheld devices so that visitors can easily find out what is happening around the county while they are here. 2500 character liwit Application Questions:Part 3 4|Collaboration If your organization collaborates or has created partnerships with other organizations,groups,or other events,how is this accomplished?

We utilize the Chamber's channels to promote the Park and our calendar of events such as on its website and weekly emails to members,have Park materials at the visitors center and place ads in their publications.The Park's EXecutive Director participates on the Downtown Association economic development committee to generate opportunities in upper county.However,we currently don't have enough staff to take an active role in many of the community events. As situations arise the Executive Director and others from Park management attend and participate in meetings with Cle Elum City Council and staff,Suncadia senior management,Cle Elum Tourism Committee,Kittitas County Parks and Recreation, Cle Elum Downtown Association,Cle Elum Rotary Club,and Roselyn Riders.
