Although Roslyn clings to its coal mining and timber harvesting past, it has become a tourist and recreation destination. Tourism to the town received a boost when it was featured as the filming location for ''[[The Runner Stumbles]]'' and ''[[Northern Exposure]]''. 

Development companies, including [[Suncadia]], purchased forests once owned and managed by [[Plum Creek Timber Company]] for an extensive [[golf course community]] with houses and condominiums on the boundary of Roslyn.<ref>''The Economist,'' Volume 379, Number 8481, pp. 30-31, June 10, 2006</ref>

However, some community members in Roslyn were concerned about the impacts of a Master Planned Resort<ref>[https://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=36.70A.360 Master Planned Resort, Revised Code of Washington]</ref> on the community's economy and ecology. A Roslyn-based citizen group called [[Ridge Association|RIDGE]] engaged Suncadia's owners in litigation to mitigate the effects of the resort. RIDGE and MountainStar Resort Development—who owned the land at the time—negotiated and signed the RIDGE Settlement Agreement in 2001. Though Kittitas County Judge Scott R. Sparks terminated the Agreement and all remaining claims in 2013,<ref>Johnston, Mike. "Suncadia Pact Ended by Ruling". Daily Record, May 30, 2013</ref> the Settlement Agreement was successful in some mitigations, such as Suncadia's donation of the Roslyn Urban Forest to the city of Roslyn and the Suncadia Resort development's adherence to Washington state's prevailing wage.<ref>[https://archiveswest.orbiscascade.org/ark:/80444/xv987578 RIDGE Records.] 1923-2015. 9.31 cubic feet (9 boxes).
