A Bellevue man died after falling off a cliff in Cle Elum Wednesday morning. The Kittitas County Sheriff's Office said 60-year-old Manuel Vellon was sightseeing at Peoh Point Lookout when he slipped and fell off a ridge crest. Vellon was found gravely injured about 400 yards down the embankment. Life-saving measures were attempted with help from Kittitas County Fire District 7 and Kittitas Valley Fire and Rescue personnel, but Vellon's injuries were too severe and he passed away before he could be transported to a hospital. "Our thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to Mr. Vellon's family during this tragic time," the sheriff's office said in a statement.
