Census and NOAA figures for the city of Ellensburg in Kittitas County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Ellensburg was built in 1991, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Washington median of 1985. That is in line with the Kittitas County median of 1993.1 Ellensburg's housing is newer than the national mix: 40% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 16% date from 2010 or later. The largest single share, 24%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it much the same age as Kittitas County as a whole (36% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1980s and 1990s, polybutylene supply lines, builder-grade windows and first-generation openers are the usual items a contractor confirms before quoting. Owner-occupied and rented homes in Ellensburg are of similar age: median build years 1994 and 1991.1
Ellensburg has a mixed housing stock: 44% detached houses, 4% attached or townhouse units and 32% in buildings of five or more units.1 Renters are the clear majority in Ellensburg: only 33% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, below the Washington share of 64%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Ellensburg is valued at $404,100 (ACS), below the Washington median of $564,600. Within Kittitas County the median is $497,400, so Ellensburg sits below it.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.
Winters are long: the Ellensburg Bowers Fld station averages 139 nights a year at or below 32°F and 33 at or below 20°F.2,3 Long winters put freeze-thaw, ice dams and snow load at the center of roofing and masonry decisions. Summers bring about 34 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 The climate is arid: annual precipitation is only about 9 inches.2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants.
Heating dominates the year: about 5,970 heating degree days against 568 cooling degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a heating-led climate, insulation and air sealing carry most of the energy-code weight for any work that opens the envelope. The coast is about 87 miles away, so storm systems arrive without salt air.4,5 Ellensburg sits in IECC climate zone 5B (Cold).6
