The locals were so enthusiastic about this tour and visitor's center, we had to go. Be sure and take the guided tour, amazing. The long driveway into the center was beautiful, glad we took our motorcycle even though we needed to negotiate a gravel parking lot, no problem. Look UP inside the visitor's center, gorgous construction of wood and glass....

Owner description:
Located in the middle of the Wild Horse Wind and Solar Facility, the Renewable Energy Center allows visitors to see how the energy of the wind and sun are turned into electricity. Displays in the exhibit area highlight wind and solar technology, as well as the area’s unique natural history. Set high on a ridge above the Kittitas Valley, Puget Sound Energy's Renewable Energy Center offers up-close views of the wind turbines and solar arrays, local wildlife, and the Cascade mountain range. The center is open from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily from April through November, weather permitting. A conference room accommodating 48 people and a kitchen area are available for group use. Presentations and tours can be arranged in advance for larger groups. Daily tours to the base of the turbines are offered at 10:00 am and 2:00 pm.

They need to have better signs...we would not have known about it if we had not seen it on TA!!
IF you plan...

Use the back road; Vantage from Ellensburg. From Ellensburg 90E is not the most direct route. That said, after getting lost, rerouting ourselves and getting great assistance from the great people at the center- it was completely worth the efforts. It is up a windy road, on a hill, with magnificent views in all directions. The not-useful GPS portion made...

What a surprise, but it's WINDY here! Bring a jacket so you'll be comfortable on the tour. We were able to join a tour in progress and learned a lot. The guide was very helpful in answering questions. You get to go into one of the turbine towers on the tour. The visitor center was good, not great. But this...
