Kittitas County Projected Population (2020 - 2050) <br />The medium projection is OFM's actual estimate, and it is assumed that it is the most accurate while the <br />high and low projections are provided as a margin of safety. However, Kittitas County has a reason to <br />believe that these projections are not a good representation of the local conditions. As a result, Kittitas <br />decided to use 2% as the projection for the growth rate which falls between the medium and high OFM <br />projections. Through County Resolution 2017-068, Kittitas County adopted the countywide growth and <br />allocation, listed in Table 3-5, using OFM projections..3o <br />2e Washington State Office of Financial Managemenl.
