Poised in her court “testimony,” Mackenzie Smith, as Alice, shows none of the nerves she first had in auditioning for the Chief Kanim Middle School production of “Alice in Wonderland,” onstage starting Thursday. The show, Chief Kanim’s first non-musical in years, features about 50 students, each with a speaking part, and a backdrop created by artist Dan Colvin. See full story, photos on page 8.
A big blue truck and an average white male have become important leads in a Snoqualmie Police burglary investigation. The leads came from a group of watchful neighbors on May 2, when police were called to a report of a suspicious character in the 8600 block of Leitz Street around 7:45 p.m., and found evidence of an attempted break-in. Neighbors told the police they’d seen the suspect, described as a 5-foot-11, 200-pound Caucasian man, walk out of the yard of a home, and get into the passenger side of a blue full-sized pickup truck. When police checked out the home, they found a window at the back of the house was left open.

Starting this week, less of Snoqualmie and North Bend’s solid waste will go to waste. That’s the main idea behind both cities’ new contracts—Snoqualmie’s with Waste Management, North Bend’s with Republic Services—coming online June 1.
Two hikers ended a month-long missing-person search with their discovery in Carnation’s Tolt-MacDonald Park Thursday afternoon, May 24. The pair discovered the body of a woman as they explored the King County park, just outside city limits. The King County Medical Examiner confirmed Friday that it was Carnation resident Lorene Bardy, missing since Thursday April 26. The examiner did not specify Bardy’s cause of death. The park is not far from where Bardy lived, King County Sheriff ’s spokesperson Cindi West said Friday.

Where does Snoqualmie’s recycling go? As of June 1, to Waste Management’s Cascade Recycling Center in Woodinville, where trained workers scan a conveyor belt of moving recyclables, “presorting” the items to pull out anything that can’t be recycled. Sorters pull more than 11,000 tons per month out of the waste stream.
