<br />By reviewing our guest register and through verbal interaction with guesls, we have
<br />found that 620/o of our guests in the year 2019 (5,1 63 of 8,328) rrere from the 50+
<br />mile range. We have found with the 2019 offerings that more individuals will visit for
<br />a daytrip or overnight trip from the 50+ mile distance. Visitors from Washington
<br />State primarily came from Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Bellevue, Bellingham,
<br />Puyallup, Renton, and Snohomish. Horaever, i,le have had visitors from 45 states
<br />with them primarily being from California, Oregon, Florida, Texas, ldaho, Arizona,
<br />Wyoming, Montana, Wisconsin. and North Carolina.
<br />lnternational visitors came from Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, Colombia,
<br />France, Germany, lndonesia, lsrael, Japan, Mexico, Moldova, the Netherlands, New
<br />Zealand, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sureden, Thailand, United Arab Emirates,
<br />and the United Kingdom.
<br />For 2A20, visitation as remained just as strong, with guests visiting the museum
<br />recently from around the raorld.
<br />Additionally, our social media reach has been predominately to those ouiside of the
<br />50+ mile distance, with our top cities following primarily registering as Seattle,
<br />Taconra, Portland, Spokane, Kennewick, Vancouver (WA), Everett, Porl Orchard,
<br />and Auburn.
<br />We have ascertained the data from our register book that indicates lecture
<br />attendees canre fronr as far as the Tri-Cities, Renton, lssaquah, Moses Lake,
<br />Portland, OR, and even Georgia, beyond those from Kittitas Couniy. ln most cases,
<br />most had heard about the lectures from social media marketing and promotion.
<br />We anticipate with more lectures u,re will have more guests from the 50+ mile
<br />distance. Many of our 2021 presenters are knourn to drawattendees from the Tri-
<br />Cities, Northeast Oregon, Wenatchee, and Spokane. With ihe planned promotions,
<br />vr,e erpeci greater interest and visitation from the areas of Seattle-Tacoma,
<br />Portland, Oregon, and Eastern Washington. As vier.r,ers tune in 10 our virtual
<br />lecture series and videos, r,re anticipate a greater reach throughout the entire
<br />vv-.stern United States.
<br />Additional events and activities, including newexhibits, have always proven to be of
<br />interest to those looking io day-irip or overnight in Ellensburg and Kittitas County.
<br />We are looking io promote exhibits betu,een historical sites and museums in and
<br />throughout Ellensburg and Kittitas County as well as Central Washington in 2021 .
