Find your place in our 11,000-year-old story
Suncadia’s no newcomer — not after two decades as, arguably, Seattle’s most beloved nearby mountain resort. Actually, our story dates back to the last ice age, whose push and pull shaped our beautiful 6,400-acre landscape. That’s a story you can read below, and it’s just one of many that our team of real estate professionals can’t wait to share with you. (By the way, they all either live or play here, so their experience is firsthand.) Most importantly, though, they’ll listen to what you’re looking for in your life and home.
And respond with a smooth, personalized experience.

Life here before Suncadia


Before construction of the Inn in 2003, we would have to go back 11,000 years to the last ice age to understand the natural forces that left an indelible imprint on Kittitas County and the community that is now Suncadia. This is a magical land, filled with natural wonders and dramatic contrasts. Massive glaciers carved soaring peaks and sprawling valleys. The upper Kittitas region has been the setting for one of America’s longest stories of intertwining lives: the native Yakama, the prospectors who came to pan for gold, the miners who came to dig the coal for the Great Northern Railroad, the pioneers from every corner of the globe, and devoted cattle ranchers, farmers, and centuries of settlers looking for a better life.


The town of Cle Elum (population 1,800, give or take) lies two miles east of Suncadia. In the Native American Yakama language, Cle Elum means “swift water.” This land was the traditional hunting and fishing grounds of the native inhabitants for centuries. As pioneers began to cross and settle the Mountain West, coal was discovered here. From the late 1800s through the closing of the historic Roslyn No. 9 mine in 1963, life here revolved around the coal mines.
At Suncadia, we treasure and honor all those who came before and strive to preserve the history of all those who graced this extraordinary land.
