Actually, Brendan's expression will pick up values like "DC18" and also "C1812". If Michael wants just single digits following the 18 (i.e. C180-C189) the following will work:

keep if regexm(site_02,"^C18[0-9]$")

Is there a less labor-intensive way to do the following:

keep if site_02=="C180" | site_02=="C181" | site_02=="C182" | ///
site_02=="C183" | site_02=="C184" | site_02=="C185" | ///
site_02=="C186" | site_02=="C187" | site_02=="C188" |
site_02=="C189"
