Heritage includes more than buildings, however. Over the years, main streets have been the site of countless community events, including parades, festivals, celebrations, and political rallies. Currently Cle Elum holds significant events such as: Pioneer Days Parade, Pioneer Village, Cle Elum Roundup, Cruise Cle Elum, Christmas in Cle Elum and others. Downtown Cle Elum provides a great range of functions for these tourists promoted gatherings. Downtown provides an attraction that is situated within a compact area that is easily accessible. Most communities strive to make the experience of walking more enjoyable by adding amenities for pedestrians. Widely used amenities include: • Brick pavers to make sidewalks look more distinctive; • Planters, flower baskets, and street trees to soften the environment and provide color and shade; • Banners and flags to make the district look more festive and colorful; and • Benches to give people a place to sit, rest, watch what goes on around them. Public art is another means through which heritage can be expressed. The use of murals can liven an area and convey some aspect ofthe community's heritage. Promotion is the key. Brochures and advertisements highlighting main street's attractions, businesses, and events can effectively get the word out. Walking tours that highlight the downtown's history and architecture would be another avenue of promotion. Festivals, parades, concerts, farmers markets, and children's events are some ofthe popular attractions that have been successfully and used to promote downtowns nationwide. How does this pertain to using Lodging Tax Funds? Currently with the events listed above, City of Cle Elum is averaging 40/60 mix. Forty percent of the festival and events attendees are coming from out of the area. Now if we continue to stage the events to include the downtown core; beautification of such area will be needed to finalize the sale of visiting Cle Elum. Promoting such events and having those travelers walk throughout the downtown while in town the use of such benches and planters would be "significant". The heart and soul of any community, besides its people is its downtown. But if locals don't "hang out" downtown, neither will visitors. Cle Elum's downtown area is fair but in need of improvements. After a hiatus of nearly 50 years, mixed-use town centers are now emerging as the wave of the future. The elements most commonly identified as missing by younger generations are what sociologist Ray Oldenburg has referred to as "third places." Third places are the traditional gathering places found outside the home (our "first place") and the workplace (our "second place). Third places include cafes, pubs, town squares, small retail shops, village greens, and entertainment venues. The need for these "third places" is exemplified by the Gen-xers hanging out at the mall and seniors' using them for morning walks. Creating a "third place" can put a community on the map and give it a focal point, a heart, an identity. A strong sense of place cannot be created overnight, nor can it be the result of one major project or initiative. Even if the project and effort where to start small the impact will create community prides which will be creating ownership and pride throughout the community. The project in front of you today, will help the movement of a full revitalization of the Cle Elum Downtown from Peoh Ave to Oakes Avenue. Currently the plan included has the full scope of the desired area but we would like to implement a beginning corner to use as the sample to continue with the full scale project. Having such a diverse project that is a major project; please review the attached plans and review the existing conditions and the proposed planning. Please be mindful for the process we are only asking for the sample block of the project which will be at Peoh Ave. This kind of tourism exists without any special effort by the community. However, it can be enhanced if local residents have a strong sense of community pride and know about its local attractions. That way, when friends and family visit, they are more likely to act as goodwill ambassadors, encouraging their guests to experience all the community has to offer. This project definitely has the Goal #1 as a crucial part of the full scale plan. Additionally Goal 5 will not only encourage small business but the partnerships to provide a distinctive and honest visitor experience. Another important group to consider are those who travel for business. This includes corporate meetings, conventions, conferences, and educational activities. As with visiting friends and family, a community also receives a certain amount of tourism from this segment without any special effort. Having Suncadia in (Ie Elum the project not only shows efforts of Goal #10 proactively planning, but it recognizes and respects the immediate need to help support such a destination attraction. To build that relationship and to benefit the community (goal #6) and satisfy the tourists (goal #4) coming through Cle Elum and staying at Suncadia and other accommodation properties. Most tourism efforts target a third kind of traveler: the leisure traveler. This group travels specifically for experiences that cater to them and which can't be found closer to home, and they spend the most amount of money. Every true "destination" community caters to this group of travelers. Well, Cle Elum is listed in 90% of the activities that the Tourism Plan reviewed and mapped out. This traveler definitely comes through the core downtown of Peoh Ave and Oakes Ave to access all the points of interest listed in your 11 goals to further geotourism within Kittitas County. Whether it is the market opportunities and land uses. The Three Phases of Tourism 1. Get passers-by to stop. As mention in your tourism plan, Cle Elum's Downtown offers multiple opportunities to be involved with open space network and trails and to connect those high priority activities to other county cities. Additionally, we are the hub community for the Natural Access points and creating an interpretive area for events, wildlife viewing, fishing, etc. 2. Become the hub for area attractions and activities . Cle Elum's Downtown also is the gateway to agriculture tourism as mention in your action item #3. We have multiple Barn Quilts in the core of Peoh and Oakes Avenue but also in the region in the Upper Peoh Point Area and at business' in the community. One major and high priority attraction is located in Cle Elum; Washington State Horse Park provides trail connection to the downtown area of Cle Elum but also the patrons of the park are looking for the tourist experience while they are at the park and that includes the core of this project . 3. Become the destination. Heritage has always been a driving force for the City of Cle Elum and the residents. It has also been a celebrated tourism piece with the local cemeteries and burial areas, the railroad spurs and depots, additionally the coal sites, logging areas and the barns that are within the community. In the downtown plan, we are looking to enhance the historical registered commercial and industrial building within the project area and to continue with promotional efforts for historic home and neighborhoods. Which is listed as a high priority by the tourism plan as action item #8 . With the beautification efforts we will have the priority to have plaques, maps, and interpretive facilities including the current Visitor Center as part of the full scale project. The area of this project also includes the Telephone Museum that is situated in the downtown core of Cle Elum. We also have in the project area a Gas Light District that is about the arts and art installations such as sculpture parks, art walk ability and artist studios. At all times, bear in mind the C's of tourism: 1. Convenience: Easy-to-find information, easy-to-plan activities, easy-to-get- to destinations. 2. Connection: More than ever, travelers are looking to connect with their heritage, each other, family and the environment. ~2.

Downtown Revitalization To Whom It May Concern: A primary goal of the Cle Elum Downtown and of Cle Elum's tourism-dependent businesses long has been to revitalization Downtown Cle Elum. Such a project would create an experience for visitors especially the historic and recreational offerings of Cle Elum and Kittitas County as a whole, and most critically it would draw visitors from around the region. The City of Cle Elum's downtown core is vital to residents and visitors alike. For the past several years discussion has occurred about undertaking such a critical tourism project. However, funding has been a barrier to making it happen. For these reasons the Cle Elum !;>owntown Association strongly and enthusiastically supports the application of the City of Cle Elum for the Small Projects Lodging Tax funding for street furniture. Please let me know if you have any questions or wish to discuss our strong support. Sincerely, -.
