About Us

The Suncadia News is an independent local guide covering Suncadia Resort, Cle Elum, Roslyn, and the surrounding Kittitas County communities of Washington State. We publish in-depth guides for visitors planning a trip, families choosing activities, and buyers considering property in one of the Pacific Northwest’s fastest-growing resort communities.

We started this site because we couldn’t find one reliable place that covered everything we wanted to know about the area — where to eat after a long drive over Snoqualmie Pass, which golf course to play first, whether the fishing on Lake Cle Elum was worth the hike, or what it actually costs to own a vacation home at Suncadia. So we built it.

What We Cover

Our coverage centers on Suncadia Resort and the communities that surround it — with a particular focus on the questions real visitors and prospective owners are actually asking.

On the visitor side, that means seasonal guides, activity roundups, dining recommendations, driving routes from Seattle, things to do with kids and dogs, and honest assessments of everything from the spa to the ski slopes at Snoqualmie Pass. On the real estate side, we cover the ownership landscape at Suncadia — neighborhood breakdowns, builder comparisons, vacation rental economics, and what distinguishes a primary residence purchase from an investment property.

We cover Suncadia Resort itself as well as the broader area: Cle Elum, Roslyn, South Cle Elum, Easton, Lake Cle Elum, Salmon La Sac, and day-trip destinations like Yakima Wine Country and the Columbia River Valley.

Our Editorial Approach

Every guide we publish is researched independently. We don’t accept payment to change editorial coverage or inflate recommendations. When we publish a best-of list or a review, it reflects our genuine assessment of the subject — not who paid us.

We may earn revenue through advertising, affiliate links and/ir through sponsored content and local business listings that are clearly labeled as such. This revenue is what allows us to keep the site free and add new guides regularly. We’re transparent about how we make money because we think that’s what readers deserve.

We update our guides when things change. Restaurants close, trails reroute, resort amenities get refreshed. If you notice something that’s out of date, use the contact form below to let us know — we take those corrections seriously.
