What past disasters mean for kitchens in Roslyn

Since 1964, Kittitas County has been named in 27 FEMA declarations; wildfire (10 declarations) and flooding (8 declarations) lead the list. Cle Elum has its own page with its county's federal declarations, which helps when a project spans both.

The most recent is Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (major disaster declaration, DR-4906), declared April 7, 2026, with the incident beginning December 5, 2025. Flooding tends to knock out power and drainage first, leaving kitchens unable to cook or keep food cold even when the building is standing. By incident type, the count is wildfire 10, flooding 8, severe storms 5, coastal storm 1 and earthquake 1. By decade: 1960s 1, 1970s 3, 1980s 1, 1990s 4, 2000s 5, 2010s 10 and 2020s 3. Before that came Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (EM-3629, December 12, 2025), Wildfires and Straight-Line Winds (DR-4584, February 4, 2021), Ryegrass Coulee Fire (FM-5253, July 10, 2018), Jolly Mountain Fire (FM-5200, September 2, 2017) and Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4249, January 15, 2016).

Ten years of NOAA storm records, 2016 through 2025, show 4 county-based event records for Kittitas County; high-wind and thunderstorm events account for 3 of them, flood events for 1. Storm winds mean outages measured in days in some places, so the generator question belongs in the plan from the start.

Kittitas County is the origin of 6 mapped wildfires of 1,000 acres or more since 2016, adding up to roughly 100,483 acres, according to NIFC. The biggest, Labor Mountain, burned 42,968 acres in 2025. A fire that never touches a kitchen can still close it: evacuation orders, smoke and utility shutoffs come first.

Declarations are federal designations for an area, not a record of damage at a particular site.

Infrastructure work around Roslyn

USASpending.gov lists 12 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more with work in Kittitas County since October 2021, worth about $213 million together. USASpending.gov shows a $5.5 million Department of the Interior contract, “Sandelin, Rock Revetment, Cle Elem Reservoir, Washington,” starting August 2021 in Kittitas County (award record). The Department of the Interior committed $2.3 million to “Speelyi Beach Shoreline Protection, Yakima Project, Washington, Bureau of Reclamation C-PN Region” in Kittitas County, awarded September 2026 (award record). Another public record is “Wishpoosh Campground Improvements, Cle Elum Dam and Reservoir, Yakima, WA,” a $1.7 million Department of the Interior contract from June 2020 in Kittitas County (award record). In June 2021, the Department of Agriculture awarded a $1.1 million contract for “GAOA MTN to Sound Greenway Heritage Area Road Improvement Package No 3” in Kittitas County, with work running to July 2023 (award record). Work like this puts crews on a site for months, often far from a restaurant, and the meals become a logistics question before the first shift starts. A project in Leavenworth, about 2,908 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.

Major renovation in Roslyn

No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for Kittitas County. The nearest is in Yakima County, about 46 miles away. USASpending.gov shows a $7.2 million Department of Agriculture contract, “Air Handler Unit Replacement - Four Units,” starting May 2025 in Yakima County (award record). Renovations like this are the usual reason an institution leases a mobile kitchen, because the permanent one cannot run while the work is under way. A remodel in North Bend, in King County, would start from the same closure date and the same temporary-kitchen question.

Getting emergency equipment into Roslyn

The Washington Emergency Management Division (EMD) and local emergency managers decide where public disaster staging happens in Washington. Those details are theirs to publish and update, so this page points to them instead of guessing at a route. For work in Ellensburg, look to the agencies covering that area rather than assuming the same routes.

The nearest hospital in CMS's list is Cascade Medical Center, a critical access hospital, in Leavenworth, about 32 miles from Roslyn in a straight line.
