Oh my god, I'm always so happy to see a partial remains case get a recon, especially after so many years. I can't wait for him to be identified.

Cle Elum is loosely 'near' the Yakama Reserve (about two hours driving), if they think he might be indigenous.

That... looks nothing like a white male. Lol.
That recon makes him look Native (specifically, Native North American rather than Latino of indigenous descent).

Potential matches:

Taurino Lagunas Velazquez
Frederick J. Sigo
Jose Esauro Dominguez
Joel Colmenero Garcia
Nicasio Carmona Fernandez, Jr.

Just off first impressions -- I'm gonna go with Frederick Sigo cause of the location, or Joel Colmenero Garcia cause of the reconstruction similarities (although the distance between TX and WA doesn't match up). Let me know what y'all think.

A reconstruction will never be 100% accurate, for example, look what Janet Lucas' reconstructions look like vs what she looked like. The recon is just a sculpt based on the skull itself too.
