At the risk of coiming off as *geographically challenged*
I/m not aware of Ahtanum Meadows.. however, I am aware
of an area just west of Ellensburg where there's a creek
called *Taneum*..there are meadows there--sort of..and
white-headed woodpeckers...
>>
To add to your confusion there's also an *Umtanum* area near Ellensburg. I
noted a city named *Ahtanum* on my map Southwest of Yakima, northwest of
Union Gap.
