Sharing a laugh and showing off goodies to be had at the upcoming North Bend Farmer’s Market, Minna Rudd of Si View Metro Parks and Oak Hills Farm owner Marty Wheeler meet at the new Si View band shelter. A revamped Si View Park (below) is home to the farmer’s market, opening Thursday, June 13, for its 16th year.

Growth and evolution for North Bend Farmer’s Market’s 16th season By Seth Truscott Editor
Minna Rudd walks Marty Wheeler past the new concessions building, down the new sidewalk, to the corner of a
patch of fresh, green lawn. “He’s right about here, facing into the seating area,” Rudd says. The Si View Activities Director is showing Wheeler, a retired firefighter turned vegetable farmer and entrepreneur, where his corner booth will go in a few day’s time. “She knows our lines get big,” Wheeler says. He doesn’t try to campaign for any special
spot, letting Rudd do her job. “She has put a ton of intelligent thinking into this market,” says Wheeler. He should know. The farmer is one of two remaining growers of the six who founded the North Bend Farmer’s Market, 16 years ago, in the parking lot of Mount Si Senior Center. See MARKET, 2
On June 15, the Snoqualmie Valley community will usher in summer by celebrating the 42nd annual Fall Bill aggenbach City Days. Overly excited 8-year-old girls will ride horses, ambitious adolescent boys will challenge each other during the watermelon-eating contest, and jogging buddies will participate in the Fun Run. But before any of Fall City Days festivities can begin, Bill Aggenbach will have been behind the scenes setting up sound systems, providing electricity and repairing riverside benches.

Cows on the lam By Valley Record Staff
Valley residents have been following the adventures of two young Angus steers on the lam for the past several weeks. The two, owned by Terry Schlaht of Burlington, escaped from their pasture northeast of the city of Snoqualmie in late May and made their way down the hill, across the river and onto Meadowbrook Farm, capturing the attention of several families along the way.
