Back in June, while attending the WSGS conference in Ellensburg, I took advantage of the Open House offered to attendees to the Kittitas County Genealogical Society. It was grand!  The staff welcoming us that evening were gracious, provided refreshments and research help…. and I copied some obits from their card file, hooray!

Here is the door to their space inside a delightful old red brick downtown building:

President Diane Huckaby was in charge of the evening:

This thriving society offers a Kittitas County Pioneer Certificate:

Here Roxanne Lowe chats with President Diane. The KCGS library consists of two rooms, one large enough for study tables. To the right edge you’ll see Roger Newman looking through some of the specialty collection books.

As I said in my post about the Kittitas County Historical Society, Kittitas County Genealogical Society is also worth your time to visit. Especially if you have pioneer ancestry in the central Washington area.
