ELLENSBURG, Wash. - In preparation for winter quarter
classes, Central Washington University has leased the former University
Auto Center lot at 8th Avenue and Pearl Street in Ellensburg for
additional parking. The lot will make available approximately 90 new
spaces for university students, staff and visitors.
“It will provide additional parking options for those working
or attending class in the southwest campus area,” Lt. Kevin Higgins,
CWU public safety and police services, says.
The lot will be for general parking and permits will be
required; however, parking will be allowed there 24 hours-a-day,
Higgins points out.
The new lot will be designated C-1. With the opening of the
new lot, CWU has more than 3,700 paved and gravel, free and
permit-required parking spaces in more than 30 lots across campus.
