Historical Note
RIDGE was a community organization in Roslyn, Washington formed in 1988. Ellie Belew and Douglas Kilgore were leaders of the organization, which engaged in activism around forestry and land use issues during the late 1980s and into the early 2010s. RIDGE partnered with labor groups-- especially the building trades unions-- in a long fight to block the development of what is now the Suncadia Resort, the first Master Planned Resort in Washington State. Master Planned Resort [MPR] is a type of zoning distinction defined by the Washington State Growth Management [GMA] Act. MPRs are self-contained and fully integrated planned unit developments, in a setting of significant natural amenities, with primary focus on destination resort facilities consisting of short-term visitor accommodations associated with a range of developed on-site indoor or outdoor recreational facilities. The plan allows urban development outside of urban areas and connection to municipal wastewater connections but requires the MPR to be separated from surrounding communities.
RIDGE used a variety of tactics to attempt to block Suncadia's development including: litigation, land use mapping, water rights, community meetings, and zoning changes. Later, RIDGE engaged with Futurewise to litigate and organize for reforms to the Kittitas County Comprehensive Plan. RIDGE dissolved in 2014.
RIDGE members warned of the negative environmental and economic effects typical of the boom and bust cycles of logging on local economies. The boom and bust cycle of a town dominated by a major extractive industry was a familiar cycle in Roslyn, founded in 1886 as a mining company town initiated and platted by the Northern Pacific Coal Company, a subsidiary of the Northern Pacific Railway. The last mine closed in Roslyn in 1963, and the bust contributed to an economic downturn and population decline. After the loss of mining jobs, the town's demographics were largely composed of retired mining families and older white people who moved to Roslyn to complete tree-planting contracts.
RIDGE's connection to labor organizing is unique among other environmental groups of the time. RIDGE challenged the notion that extractive economy workers and environmentalists have competing interests, and instead sought to harmonize the need for a sustainable forest economy among workers and those concerned with the environment. RIDGE joined a coalition with the building trades unions after Suncadia expressed interest in bringing in open shop contractors to build the resort and that they had no intention of utilizing a responsible contract. Once it was evident Suncadia was going to be built despite efforts to block the development, the coalition fought for and obtained a pledge for employing union workers in its construction. The organization's leaders also have strong ties with the labor movement. Doug Kilgore is connected to the labor movement in Washington State, and Ellie Belew has researched and authored several books in collaboration with labor unions and labor activists.

In the mid 1990s, the Yakama Nation renamed itself from "Yakima" to "Yakama" to more closely represent pronunciation in their native language. All mentions of the Yakama Nation in this collection have been updated to reflect this change in spelling, though original documents may still have the outdated spelling, depending on the age of the materials.

Scope and Content: Material related to sustainable forestry working groups and coalitions, Kittitas County and Kittitas City planning and politics, water and sewerage projects, news clippings and press, and land use proposals, plans, and applications. Types of material include notes, charts, photographs, correspondence, legal documents, reports, meeting minutes, and Washington State Legislative bills. Oversize maps, oversize newsprint, and electronic records appear throughout this series. More information related to land use on the site of Suncadia Resort can be found in SUBSERIES 6: RIDGE/SUNCADIA LITIGATION.
Historical Note: RIDGE participated in the Sustainable Forestry Roundtable [SFR] and various SFR subcommittees from 1989-1990. SFR sought to create a legislative package through consensus of all participating groups and propose legislation to state lawmakers. SFR was unable to achieve consensus when RIDGE and several national and local Audubon Society chapters rejected the legislative packet because of its lack of coverage of sustainable forestry and forest rates of harvest.
RIDGE monitored and mapped forestry practices in L.T. Murray Recreation Area managed by the Department of Wildlife from 1990 to 1992. RIDGE did this to demonstrate how Forest Practice Applications did not take into account cuts in side-by-side locations of forested areas by using Kittitas County's recently-adopted Washington State's Growth Management Act [GMA], other planning regulations, and legal action to advocate for designating traditional forest, mining, and agricultural lands as "resource lands of long-term commercial significance". RIDGE advocated for zoning and other land use regulations and policies that supported their goal of a sustainable forest economy. The appeal for logging plans they filed in L.T. Murray is sometimes called "The Hitchcock Case" in some records in the collection.

- Description: American Forest Resources and Teanaway Comprehensive Plan
Scope and Content: The Teanaway Comprehensive Plan is in reference to Kittitas County's revision to the county's comprehensive plan after American Forest Resources [AFR] purchased Boise Cascade-owned forest land in the Teanaway Valley. AFR sought to rezone large sections of the Teanaway Valley for a Master Planned Resort/residential development. RIDGE, along with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, Friends of the Teanaway and Futurewise intervened via the Kittitas County Planning Department, who decided that the rezone would require an environmental impact statement [EIS]. After the EIS was required, AFR did not pursue the proposal for rezoning, and they sold the land to the Department of Natural Resources [DNR].

Historical Note: The 2001 RIDGE Settlement Agreement was negotiated to mitigate the impacts of development on the 7,600 acres owned by Suncadia and their secondary development in Upper Kittitas County. A Second Amendment to the Agreement was signed in 2004. Suncadia negotiated with RIDGE for modifications to address its changing development needs. In exchange, RIDGE negotiated for Suncadia's purchase and subsequent donation of approximately 330 acres of forested lands to the city of Roslyn, now called the Roslyn Urban Forest. A Fourth Amendment to the Agreement was signed in 2006, which allowed the Master Planned Resort [MPR] to incorporate lands that were formerly the site of the Nelson Dairy. Some of these lands were added to the MPR's buildable footprint and significant portions were added to open space managed for wildlife, habitat, and passive recreation in perpetuity as part of the Stream C Corridor that continues on to the Cle Elum River.
RIDGE pursued additional litigation about the proposed Suncadia Resort that focused on the water rights Suncadia would need to supply the resort. RIDGE was concerned the resort would deplete the resources of the Yakima Basin. As a result of this litigation, the Department of Ecology regulated the water so that whatever water Suncadia acquired and used would be balanced out by other water left running in the stream.
Ownership of the resort property changed hands and names several times during and before negotiations. Plum Creek Timber Company sold the MPR to Trendwest, which then became MountainStar, which then became Suncadia. All material marked "RIDGE Settlement Agreement" is in reference to the agreement that RIDGE negotiated with the owners of the resort property, regardless of who owned the property at the time.
