When you hear of anything with “The Blues” in it you tend to assume it is a sad or tragic think. Well Ellensburg Blues are far from sad. They are a special gem found only in the Lower County of Kittitas County. This beautiful blue stone is truly one of a kind in it’s vast shapes and shades of blue. This use to be a little hidden secret to locals in the area but as they say the secret is out. King 5’s evening magazine recently did a segment on this unique gem and the area I so love.
