The Ellensburg rodeo mural, last updated in 1983, has been repainted for the 2026 Ellensburg Rodeo season. The mural, located on a building near the rodeo grounds, was completed this week ahead of the August 30–September 5 event.

The update was part of preparations for the annual rodeo, which draws thousands of visitors to downtown Ellensburg each summer. The city's Public Works department coordinated the project, though specific costs were not disclosed in the public report.

The mural's renovation follows the city's ongoing efforts to maintain historic landmarks while welcoming visitors to the rodeo festival.
