North Pierce Street

Locals know this little spot on North Pierce Street as one of those no-frills stops that gets the job done when the kids need to burn off some energy. It’s right in the mix of everyday Ellensburg life, which means you’re never far from a bite at Mi Ranchito La Joya if someone starts complaining about being hungry. Don’t expect anything elaborate here — it’s a simple outdoor space, but sometimes that’s exactly what you need. Good for a quick stop, especially if you’re already running errands on that side of town.
