What the source record says
Roughly 100,000 sq ft near Interstate 90, inside a residential and commercial development already under construction in Cle Elum. Developer projects 20 to 40 full-time positions. Because the site is covered by a pre-existing development agreement with the city, it may proceed despite the moratorium. Single-source; coordinates are an approximate geocode of the described location.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
