Definitely non-encyclopedic, but maybe useful. --spikey 15:53, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Name

The article says

Cle Elum means "Swift Water."

Fine, but in what language? —EncMstr 08:31, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I pulled this info from a WA-DOT site;

Cle Elum, a name meaning "swift water" in the language of the Kittitas Indians, was given to a river, a town, and also this beautiful tranquil lake. The lake was created by the construction of the Cle Elum Dam.Mrhyak 20:05, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Suncadia description on this page is likely a canned press release. It should be rewritten. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.217.6.211 (talk) 06:44, August 20, 2007 (UTC)

M.C. Miller Lumber Company

Anyone know anything about it? I know that it was a big part of the economy in the 50's and 60's and closed in 1963. More citable info would be good.
