This weekend in Kittitas County, WA

A casual meetup at Yakima Coffee Company brings together classic, performance, muscle and exotic cars alongside bikes and trucks.

The inaugural Hot for a Cause 5K is a summer run and walk benefiting Yakima Union Gospel Mission and the men, women, and children in the community who endure dangerous heat without shelter, safety, or support. Following Cold for a Cause, it shines a light on a different side of homelessness in the Yakima Valley, surviving the intense heat of summer. While many people seek air conditioning and relief, thousands of vulnerable individuals face long days and sleepless nights exposed to the elements. Every registration helps provide shelter, meals, outreach, recovery services, and hope to neighbors experiencing homelessness and hardship. Participants can run, walk, or encourage others, and their involvement helps those who face the heat every day.

Registration is currently open, and inquiries can be sent to ellensburg3on3@gmail.com.

Mumsy is a free peer support circle for mothers with babies from birth to age three. Its name highlights the strong bonds that tend to form among participants and nods to the chrysanthemum, a symbol of new beginnings and resilience during times of change. The group offers a warm, judgment free setting where mothers connect through shared experience, with monthly themes guiding facilitated conversation rather than advice giving. To support those without childcare, a supervised on site playgroup for children over one is provided in a nearby kid friendly room with age appropriate activities led by a trusted teacher while the discussion takes place close by. Sessions are held at Discovery Lab. Group guidelines are available to review in advance.

Stop by for a Museum Day event with free admission. Learn about the USS Rio Grande Historical Search and Rescue truck, enjoy a Touch-a-Truck experience, and meet volunteers from the South Cle Elum Fire Department.

Building new habits often feels hard even with the best intentions. This practical workshop, led by Azalea, focuses on executive functioning, the set of mental skills that guide planning, prioritizing, starting tasks, and following through. Together, participants will look at how stress, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and everyday pressures can disrupt these skills, why familiar habit advice can miss the mark, and how to create routines that feel doable and truly fit the way the brain works. The session shares evidence-informed tools like habit stacking and Ticket Theory, along with ways to tap into play, pleasure, interest, novelty, challenge, community, and urgency, known as PINCH, so habits become more motivating and enjoyable. Attendees leave with clear, compassionate strategies for routines that are flexible, realistic, and sustainable without leaning on perfectionism or sheer willpower. It is well suited for adults with ADHD, busy professionals, parents, students, and anyone interested in building healthier habits and greater consistency.

Two local favorites come together for a concert blending Indie, Americana, and string music. Burgers and drinks will be served by Kittitas Cafe. Admission is free and open to all ages, made possible by community sponsors.
