I'll second Michael Gallagher's comments. A great opportunity for a young journalist looking to get strong experience and good clips.

Ellensburg is NOT in the Seattle area — literally on the other side of the mountains — but with a smallish state college in town and outdoorsy opportunities all around it, there are fun things to do.

It also helps if you like rodeo.
