Ellensburg — Cascade Tire and Auto Resupply
Ellensburg sits at the I-90 and US-97 junction and serves as the practical gateway town for Teanaway, Wenas Creek, and the Kittitas Valley backcountry routes. Multiple fuel stations, a full grocery (Safeway on University Way), and several auto-related services make this the right place to top off everything before heading into the hills. Les Schwab on Canyon Road handles tire repairs and patches — critical intel if you’re running oversized rubber on rough forest roads.
Town is easy to navigate, services are clustered on Canyon Road and University Way. Cell signal is full throughout. If you’re hitting Teanaway Ridge Road or the Middle Fork access, this is your last real-town stop — Cle Elum is smaller and closer but Ellensburg has more options for stocking up heavy.
Last full resupply before Teanaway country.
