Kittitas County commissioners denied a request for a noise-ordinance waiver for an event at Amabilis Mountain Summit scheduled May 31–June 1, 2025, after the county’s Sheriff’s Office recommended denial.
Mandy Buchholz, the county office administrator, presented the waiver request from Andrew Stebbins and reviewed event details, including proposed hours of 5:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. on May 31. Commissioner Cory Wright moved to deny the waiver “as presented,” citing the Sheriff’s Office recommendation and saying the Board did not support “the proposed disturbance to others camping in the area.” Commissioner Brett Wachsmith seconded the motion. The motion carried 3–0.
