From time to time, Secretary of State Wyman leaves Olympia and visits other parts of Washington to meet with community leaders, take part in historical or cultural events and talk with local media about what our office is doing. After all, since part of her title is “state,” it only makes sense for Wyman to visit communities around our state and learn more about them while letting folks know about our office’s programs and goals. On Monday, Wyman enjoyed visiting Ellensburg, the Kittitas County seat and home to Central Washington University. (Trivia: Did you know that Ellensburg – or Ellensburgh, as it was known then – was a finalist to become Washington’s state capital in 1889? The secretary began her E-burg stay with a tour Washington State Archives’ Central Regional Branch, located on the CWU campus. Wyman met for lunch with more than 20 members of her Kittitas County Advisory Committee, informing them about current or upcoming programs, including Washington Remembers, which features online profiles and photos of Washingtonians who served in World War II as we approach the 70th anniversary of the war’s end. After an afternoon meeting with the Ellensburg Daily Record’s editorial board, Wyman was set to speak Monday night to the Girls State participants, who are congregating on the CWU campus this week.(html)
