Now days with the Socialist Republic of Washington legislature funding less for education.  Smaller school district such as Easton and Thorp have to combine their athletic programs to compete due to not enough players or due to not enough funding.  Here is a solution to this problem.  Have the Easton and Thorp School District's with voter approval from all three school districts consolidate and becoming the Upper Kittitas County School District no 404.   Thorp and Easton could still use their current campus as schools to keep their towns in an identity.  Cle Elum and Roslyn could also have elementary school in their cities this will allow for more room the High and Middle School complex.  Please suggest to your school boards you want consolidation of Upper Kittitas County school district.  This would allow the Upper Kittitas County a stronger presence as one unified school district.  We could move the administration building to Downtown Cle Elum where an old theater is located across the Farm and Home.  The administration could be upstairs.  Performance Art Theatre well the Bullitt Poroduction company could perform and school performance during school season.  With the increase that 47 Degrees North will provide like jobs.  Upper Kittitas County could do what my hometown School District in 1944 that is consolidate Fall City, Snoqualmie, Tokul, North Fork and North Bend into one school district.  This actually helped it to grow the next 40 years without having extra money.
