The Snoqualmie Valley Chamber of Commerce Community Guide and Directory is a special publication of
the Snoqualmie Valley Record, in partnership with the Chamber.
Welcome to your first stop for resources in the Snoqualmie Valley. This is the 2015 Snoqualmie Valley Chamber of Commerce Community Guide and Directory, a collection
of essential information, whether you’re a Valley native or new to the community.
Inside, you’ll also find introductions to local cities, emergency services, the Snoqualmie Valley school district, and information on where to find shopping, live entertainment and, if you’re in a vol-unteering frame of mind, the perfect opportunities to get involved in your community.
Located in the heart of the Mountains-to-Sound Greenway, the Snoqualmie Valley includes the communities of North Bend, Snoqualmie, Preston, Fall City and Snoqualmie Pass. Here, you can find small town charm, historic landmarks, and scenic beauty blended with active community growth and world-class facilities.
Surrounded by stunning vistas of Mount Si, Rattlesnake Ridge and the Cascade Mountains, North Bend charms with its historic downtown and breathtaking views. It offers an eclectic mix of din-ing and shopping, including the North Bend Premium Outlets. The area presents impressive hiking and bicycling trails and paths.
Snoqualmie is best known for Snoqualmie Falls, attracting more than 1 million visitors from around the world each year. Water storms 268 feet over granite cliffs, for an amazing experience any time of year.
In Snoqualmie, you will also find the Northwest Railway Museum, which offers scenic excursions aboard antique train cars along a five-mile stretch of historic railway.
When exploring the Valley, your first stop should be the Snoqualmie Valley Chamber of Commerce office and Valley visitor’s center, located at 38767 S.E. River St. in downtown Snoqualmie. It is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends, Memorial Day through Labor Day.
This guide goes out to thousands of residents, and will also be available throughout the year at the visitor’s center, as well as the Valley Record office, located just across the street at 8124 Falls Ave., Snoqualmie.

Community EventsBuilding community is an essen-tial part of the Chamber’s work, for those who live, work, or play here in the Valley.

Visitors who come to spend an hour ex-ploring majestic Snoqualmie Falls often end up spending the rest of the day
checking out historic downtown Snoqualmie. The historic downtown area is centered on the Northwest Railway Museum’s 120-year-old de-pot and vintage rail cars. Snoqualmie Ridge in-cludes community parks, dining and shopping options, while Snoqualmie Point Park and Sno-qualmie Casino draw visitors for unparalleled views and gaming action.Shopping in Snoqualmie has to include a stop at Carmichael’s True Value Hardware.
Owners Wendy Thomas and Brian Woolsey keep the place stocked with enough gifts, cards, games, decor and just plain fun stuff to ensure that residents and visi-tors alike will find some amusement inside, even if they only came for plumbing supplies. Part of the mantra that guided development in Snoqualmie was the idea of connectivity,
of residents being able to walk, jog or bike to jobs, shopping, entertainment or neighbors. Thanks to that focus, Snoqualmie Ridge includes
some 20 miles of hiking trails, connecting neigh-borhoods to all parts of the city as well as the King County Snoqualmie-Preston Trail.Wildlife abounds in the greenbelts near trails in Snoqualmie. On Silent Creek trail near Stellar Park, walkers may feel like they’re in the forest. Snoqualmie Ridge hosts a number of sporting events catering to runners, basketball players and golfers, including the Boeing Classic PGA tournament. Some of the world’s best golfers compete on the Jack Nicklaus-designed course. Learn more at http://www.boeingclassic.com.
Snoqualmie, a place to visit
and to liveSnoqualmie is approximately 25 miles east of Seattle and is the half-way point between Seattle and Snoqualmie Pass. It is best known for Snoqualmie Falls, a spectacular water-fall that attracts visitors from around the world. This and other landmarks, such as the Northwest Railway Museum, create a destina-tion for scenic beauty and adventure.Snoqualmie is a special place to visit and to call home. It is a historic, yet youthful town of 12,300. Snoqualmie neighbor-hoods include historic downtown, the master-planned community of Snoqualmie Ridge and rural homes. Thirty-five percent of residents are under the age of 18 and served by the award-winning Snoqualmie Valley School District. A new elementary school is underway and Mount Si High School will be rebuilt with the newest technology.While tourism is the primary contributor to Snoqualmie’s economy, many large businesses are opening and relocating here, providing jobs and strengthening the economy. Small businesses offer shopping, restaurants and a wide range of professional services, and there is a newly built hospital in town. Snoqualmie is the official “Home of the Boeing Classic.” It has the distinction of having been named the “Greenest Town in Puget Sound” by PSE for resident participation in the Green Power pro-gram, and is designated as a Tree City USA.Recreation is abundant for all ages and levels of fitness. There are 37 parks with many different amenities, more than 30 miles of maintained trails, hundreds of acres of open space, a large off-leash dog park, and access to regional trails for biking, hiking, and walking.

North Bend hot spotsOf course, there’s lots of recreation outside of the city, but North Bend itself has many interesting spots to visit: North Bend’s Visitor Information Center: Not just a place to get a map and directions, the VIC is also an art gallery. New shows are brought in periodically, although local artist Bob Antone’s Sasquatch sculpture outside the building may be a fixture now. Stop in for city information, and check out the work by local artists. Come on the right Saturday, and you can listen in for the VIC’s monthly storytelling sessions, or maybe even weave your own tale.
North Bend Theatre: Retro fads come and go, but the classic look of the 73 year-old North Bend The-atre is here to stay. The Art Deco building has en-dured through decades of movies and community events, two renovations and a digital moderniza-tion that will keep the names of the latest releases on the theater’s marquee every week. Besides being the go-to spot for community gatherings and first-run movies, the North Bend Theatre also features the Banff Film Festival each December, and is a regular stop on the itinerary of the Twin Peaks Festival. Learn more at http://north-bendtheatre.com.
Sallal Grange: The Sallal Grange and Community Hall has become a place for people to come and help the local area in any way they want. Examples include electronics recycling, a community game night, a semi-monthly Project Linus blanket bee, an open mic event, contra dances, fundraisers for local charities, a weekly dairy drive for the local food bank, concerts, rummage sales and holiday bazaars. Learn more at www.sallalgrange.org.

Beer is booming in the Valley, where businesses are making, sampling, and distributing it, to the delight of local cus-tomers. Snoqualmie is home to the friendly neighborhood Snoqualmie Falls Brewing Company, making hand-crafted brews since 1997 and North Bend recently welcomed two newcomers, the Growler Station and the soon-to-open Middle Fork Brewers onto the block. At Snoqualmie Falls Brewing Company, and its taproom, open since 2006, you’ll find seven regular taps, among them the famed Wildcat IPA, and several rotating taps. For the past few years, the taproom has also served a truly local specialty, Meadowbrook Farm Ale, made from wild hops still growing around the historic Meadowbrook Farm. Availability depends on the hop harvest, so supplies are limited. The family-friendly Taproom is open seven days a week for lunch and dinner. Sno Falls Brewery is located at 8032 Falls Ave. S.E., Snoqualmie; Call the Taproom at (425) 831-2357; http://falls-brew.com.Opened in 2014, the Growler Station in North Bend is more in the beer-to-go biz, although they do sell samples of their wares — 24 craft beers, nine ciders and a few varieties of Kombucha, a fermented but non-alcoholic drink. Bring your glass growler and fill ‘er up with something exotic, or take comfort in the familiar “always on” brews, which include six beers — an amber, a pale and a bock, among them — two ciders, three Kombucha, or one root beer — Snoqualmie Falls Brewing Co., of course. Visit the Growler Station at 458 S.W. Mount Si Blvd., North Bend, online at http://growler-station.com/northbend, or call (425) 292-0088.Middle Fork Brewing, soon to open at 113 Bendigo Blvd. N. North Bend, promises a future brewery and taproom in the summer of 2015. Find more at www.middleforkbrewing.com.

Raging River Live MusicIf you’re looking for live music, look to the Rag-ing River Cafe Cafe and Club in Fall City. The popular after-hours spot has live entertainment every night of the week, with no cover charge. The beer is cold, and the burgers are good!Friday and Saturday nights are for dancing, as cafe owners Lyle and Kia Geels put Seattle-area rock and roll, blues, or country bands on stage, including local favorites. “If they don’t get you up and dancing, they don’t come back!” says Kia.Learn more at www.theragingrivercafeclub.com/entertainment.htm.
Fall City RoadhouseA fixture at the corner of Hwy 202 and the Pres-ton-Fall City Road since 1916, the Fall City Road-house is at the center of an active farming com-munity and tourism hotspot especially when summer temperatures climb. Manager and executive chef Benjamin Riggs, on board since 2012, works to honor the community’s history, farm background and free-spirited nature with a welcoming restaurant. Riggs offers a creative menu featuring local ingredients in hearty fare.The place truly is a roadhouse, too, with six guest rooms upstairs decked out in vintage ‘20s-era lin-ens and decor. Every room features wood floors, plush rugs, flat-screen televisions and coffee makers, plus Roadhouse-exclusive elements like the sassy, sparkly chicken paintings on the walls. Adventurous souls making reservations should ask for Room 7—it may be haunted. The Fall City Roadhouse is located at 4200 Pres-ton Fall City Rd S.E.
Fall City, built on
communityBy Ashley Glennon Fall City Community Association
Fall City is a friendly, Snoqualmie Valley community that welcomes you to visit or make your home here.
Many are surprised to hear that we aren’t truly a city, but are simply an unincorpo-rated rural town nestled along the banks of the Snoqualmie and Raging Rivers. The rivers play an important role in our com-munity as thousands of visitors descend upon our town during the summer and fall months to float in the river and play along our broad, rocky shorelines.
Over the last 10 years Fall City has experi-enced a growth rate of around 20 percent as people discover that we have some of the highest-rated schools in the area.
Fall City has a vibrant arts community that hosts a variety of family and fine arts programs throughout the year and we also have an active historical society that is proud to promote and preserve the ele-ments that make Fall City special. Our parks department is working hard to preserve and improve recreational opportunities and the Fall City Community Association strives to improve the quality of life for Fall City residents overall.
Every summer, Fall City hosts Fall City Days, which includes a fun run, street parade, arts, crafts, food and much more. And in the late summer, the Snoqualmie Falls Forest Theater offers outdoor entertainment.
Fall City is also home to one of America’s most unique communities that includes a private airport, and we have gained nation-al attention as the home of Treehouse Point, the home base of the Animal Planet program, Treehouse Masters.
You can learn more about Fall City at www.fallcity.org or by picking up a free Fall City Neighbors newsletter monthly at the Fall City Post Office.

World of wines
Western Washington, even in agricul-tural areas like the Valley, is not grape-growing country. That doesn’t stop us from having an abundance of wineries to enjoy, though. Up and down the Valley, small and boutique wineries have cropped up, many with their own tasting rooms. Few, though, have the style of Sigillo Cellars in Snoqualmie and Piccola Cellars in North Bend. Both wineries are distinctive. Sigillo’s tasting room on Railroad Avenue is in the stately Mignone building, and serves award-winning wines made just a few blocks away. Piccola has been capitalizing on its location, the former North Bend Fire Station, by opening up the engine doors and let-ting the sun shine in on warm days, while staff serves wine on tap from the Woodinville winery.
Sample Sigillo wines for a tasting fee, or sip them by the glass, flight or bottle. Buy an empty bottle, or growler, at Piccola and have it filled with your
choice from the menu. Or, grab a tote, ideal for outdoor adventures. Sigillo: http://www.sigillocellars.com/Piccola: http://piccolawine.com.

Historic Tolt
Tolt Historical Society at Carnation was started in 1983 and for several years had a small museum at the Sno Valley Senior Center. In 2011, the senior center began a remodel that eliminated the museum from its footprint.
Elbridge (better known locally as “Bridge”) Stuart, the grandson of the founder of Carnation Farms, and his wife gave the museum exhibit space in an old milking barn which also housed his collection of refurbished carriages, milk wagons and trucks.Stuart and his wife had purchased Carnation Farm from Nestlé, putting it into a foundation so that it would always be Carnation Farm. As he said at the Grand Opening of the new museum, “I couldn’t have Isabel (the museum director) out in the street with her museum!”Tolt Historical Society, being a small organization, depends on grants from 4 Culture, the Snoqualmie Tribe and memorials. The organization has several thousand artifacts dating from the 1800s, including early logging and farming tools, ladies’ combs, Tolt High School memorabilia, and a large collection of dolls, doll furniture and sports equipment.Tolt Historical Society meets at 7 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month, September through May, at the Sno Valley Senior Center. Everyone is welcome. For further information, contact Jones at [email protected].
Farming community,
shopping stopA rural town of 1,800 residents, Carnation prides itself on being friendly and safe, a family-oriented community. Carnation features an abundance of natural beauty and outdoor experiences, framed by the Cascade foothills.Carnation was founded as the Town of Tolt in 1912. The town later changed its name to Carnation to reflect its connection to the Carnation Milk Farm, which was famously known as the home of the con-tented cows. “Carnation Milk cows live where the grass is sweetest, water clearest, air the purest.”Carnation is located at the confluence of the Tolt and Snoqualmie Rivers, which offer some of the best salmon habitat in the region. Carnation also provides access to the 31-mile Snoqualmie Valley Trail, the 574-acre Tolt-MacDonald Park and Campground and is home to an off-leash dog park. More than 250,000 visitors per year come to Tolt-MacDonald Park to camp, enjoy the Tolt and Snoqualmie Rivers, music festivals and ride moun-tain bikes or hike on the park’s trails. Carnation’s abundant parks also include a skateboard bowl, disc golf course, ball fields and numerous walking trails that provide opportunities for all age groups to enjoy outside activities. Residents and visitors alike can enjoy outdoor recreation experiences in and around Carnation.
Carnation Farmers MarketThe Lower Valley farmers market happens from 3 to 7 p.m. on Tuesdays, May through November, in downtown Carnation.Surrounded by beautiful farms and forests, this gem of a market blends a top-notch selection of food and farm products with all the makings of a great family event. Housed under a majestic timber-frame structure designed, milled and hand-crafted by local artisans, the Carnation Farmers Market is unique among markets to have such an impressive and permanent home.Just what’s all the buzz about local food? For most folks, fresh, locally grown food simply tastes better than food picked and shipped thousands of miles. But it’s really about much more than that.Local farms help preserve open space, build local economies and nurture the genetic diversity of our foods. In addition, many farmers are staunch support-ers of the environment, spending time and money planting stream buffers, changing their practices to
decrease run-off, encouraging the reintroduction of native species and restoring salmon streams.As more places develop farmers markets to meet demand for local food, community members engage with each other, strengthening ties, building rela-tionships and fostering a “we’re all in this together” kinship that can weather any calamity.Visit on Tuesday afternoons and buy directly from your farmers. On the second Monday of each month, SnoValley Tilth, which runs the market, has monthly potlucks open to the public. Find out more at carnationfarmersmarket.org and snovalleytilth.org.

Snoqualmie Valley Historical MuseumHome of the Snoqualmie people for thousands of years, the Snoqualmie Valley has a vibrant history that is shared at the Snoqualmie Valley Historical Museum. Located in a strategic trade and transportation corridor, the Snoqualmie Valley has always been an important location for the Pacific Northwest regional economy, with the Snoqualmie Pass providing access for the majority of east/west trade. This trade route has greatly shaped the history of our area from the first peoples to settle in the Valley to the first pioneers and current travelers and residents. The artifacts of the Valley’s rugged past can be viewed at the museum, which is operated by the Snoqualmie Valley Historical Society. The museum is located at 320 Bendigo Blvd. S. in North Bend in the Gardiner Weeks Memorial Park and is open 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday through Tuesday, April through October.

The Valley YMCAThe YMCA took root in the Snoqualmie Valley in July 1924 when the
Community Hall was constructed in the town of Snoqualmie Falls. Through almost five decades and two buildings, the Community Hall YMCA was the community social center for concerts, plays, dances, volleyball, tennis and more. Since the closing of the Community Hall in 1971, the Y has lived on in the community in child care, summer camp and its Adventure Guides pro-grams. Then, in 2010, the City of Snoqualmie and the YMCA of Greater Seattle finalized an operating agreement that would bring a YMCA facility back to the Valley. On January 1, 2012, the doors to the new Snoqualmie Valley YMCA opened. The YMCA is committed to lasting personal and social change, and strengthen-ing community is its cause. Every day, staff work side-by-side with neighbors and community partners to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. The YMCA has a menu of programs that includes before-and-afterschool child-care programs, family and teen activities and summer activities. Membership allows community members access to a wide variety of group exercise classes, state of the art equipment and free child care. All programming focuses on the YMCA’s three pillars of youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. The staff supports program and facility members by nurturing the development of children and teens, equipping and encouraging people to improve their health and well-being and mobilizing citizens to bring about lasting social change in the Valley and beyond. Whether you are looking for a safe place for your child, an engaging and energetic atmosphere to get healthy, a fun birthday party location or simply a place to hold a meeting for your local soccer team or Boy Scout Troop, the Snoqualmie Valley YMCA welcomes you.For membership and program information, contact the Snoqualmie Valley YMCA at (425) 256-3115. Find the Y on the web at snovalleyymca.org or like them on Facebook.

We are proud of our Snoqualmie Valley schools and committed to making them among the best in the state. Our primary focus is to ensure high levels of learning for every student in order to prepare them for college, careers and citizenship. In partnership with families, our district strives to provide high-quality educational opportunities, academic rigor, enrich-ment experiences and student support services in a positive and safe school environment.
The Snoqualmie Valley School District serves approxi-mately 6,500 students from preschool through grade 12 in nine schools, including the Mount Si Online Learning Program and the Parent Partnership Program for families who prefer to school their K-8 children at home. The district spans more than 400 square miles and serves families throughout Fall City, North Bend, Snoqualmie and surrounding areas of unincorporated King County. Each day, approximately 700 dedicated staff members are focused helping Snoqualmie Valley students grow and learn.
In recent years, our schools, staff and students have received numerous awards and garnered recognition at the state and national levels. Student assessment scores and the number of students choosing more rigorous academic courses have trended upward. We are proud of this work and committed to building upon these successes, by constantly seeking opportunities to raise student learning to even higher levels.
We appreciate the community’s investment in its schools by recently pass-ing a school bond that will help us serve our growing student population and improve our educational program in the years to come. Planning is underway to construct a new elementary school, modernize and expand Mount Si High School, reinstate a third middle school and make other improvements to preserve our existing schools.
Robust technology integration throughout our schools is fostering student engagement in learning. A concerted effort to expand educational oppor-tunities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), while implementing technology upgrades and training, will benefit stu-dents and build capacity in our staff.
It is indeed a time of change in public education in our state, as schools are transitioning to a new system for teacher and principal evaluation, while implementing new state standards aimed at higher levels of student learning. Our district is investing in teachers with training and support to encourage their development and help them maximize the potentials of their students.
Strong support from the community, engaged parental involvement and the daily efforts of our exceptional staff make this school district a very special place.
• Snoqualmie Valley School District includes Cascade View Elementary, Fall City Elementary, North Bend Elementary, Opstad Elementary, Snoqualmie Elementary, Chief Kanim Middle School, Twin Falls Middle School, Mount Si High School and its Freshman Campus and Two Rivers School.

Arts and culture come to lifeArts organizations and live theaters showcase local talent
Snoqualmie Valley communities may be modest in size, but our local arts culture is alive and thriving. Theater troupes and artist organizations promote the finest in creative talent.
Guild of creatorsThe Mount Si Artist Guild is a gathering of local artist in the Snoqualmie Valley. The guild fosters and promote the visual fine arts through encouragement, education and events. The guild participates in community-initiated as well as guild-sponsored events, creating opportunities for artists to show their work and interact with the community. Visit www.mtsiartistguild.org.
Take Center StageValley Center Stage, North Bend’s live theater, was founded in 2004 by Gary Schwartz. Its mission is three-fold: To present quality produc-tions and entertainment; to offer the joys of live theater to local resi-dents with opportunities to participate from both sides of the stage, as audience and volunteers; and, its founding mission, to promote the work of theater educator, Viola Spolin, whose teachings make theater accessible to everyone.Valley Center Stage also produces events for many well-known local, regional and national entertainers throughout the year. The Theater is located at 119 North Bend Way, North Bend (on the second floor of the Mason Lodge) and is handicapped accessible. Visit the website at www.valleycenterstage.org for more information.
Theater in the woodsSnoqualmie Falls Forest Theater is a unique symbiosis between nature and musical theater. The outdoor family-oriented venue is surrounded by 95 undeveloped acres of woods, meadows and streams, with a picturesque view of Snoqualmie Falls within a five-minute walk of the parking area. The land provides the setting and support for theater productions, while the shows provide funding for stewardship and main-tenance of the land, providing a refuge for wildlife displaced by urban development, as well as providing outdoor recreational opportunities for members and guests.Since the original plays in the 1960s, minimalistic sets and performances have evolved into professional level musical productions. With Washington State University Cooperative Extension, the Forest Theater successfully restored two salmon spawning locations. Forest Theater also hosts a yearly Easter egg hunt, and a holiday wreath-making event that allows guests to build wreaths from our forest bounty. You can find more information on our website at www.foresttheater.org.
Fall City ArtsFall City Arts is a Lower Valley non-profit that creates culture, art and performance to enliven this King County community. Its mission is to encourage awareness, appreciation, and exploration of the diverse visual and performing arts.In May, the group hosts the Snoqualmie River Arts Tour. In June, they bring a host of performers and art-ists to Fall City Days. Every July, they co-sponsor Shakespeare in the Park, bringing two performances to Fall City Park. Every September, the group produces the Snoqualmie River Fish Festival, an arts event that helps keep the river clean. Finally, in December, the group holds a Christmas tree Lighting at the down-town Art Park, an arts-filled destination at the corner of SR 202 and 335th Place, across from Quigley Park.Fall City Arts is creating projects this year that are aimed towards beautifying the community, and will be reaching out to artists, families and individuals that are interested in giving the Art Park some attention and creating additional public gathering spaces that counteract ugly graffiti with public art.Learn more at www.fallcityarts.com.

donations made by children who ask their friends to bring food instead of presents to their birth-day parties or who want to share the contents of their piggy banks. For more information or to make a contribution, visit www.fallcity-foodpantry.org or friend them on Facebook.
