We are connected through having friends or relatives throughout the county, from Vantage to Snoqualmie Pass. What affects one, affects us all. In April a group of us discussed Kittitas County as a Recreation County. To me, that is not the most desirable industry.
Tourism implies that people come to look and to see and to be served.
Recreation, on the other hand, means activity. We had hoped to have Dr. Patricia Maguire share with us how we might promote such industry. Dr. Maguire left CWU in June, l999, to take a position at a university in the east. Nothing specifically has taken place concerning Tourism as an industry for our County and Valley.
