It took an alliance of locals including, from left, back row, Snoqualmie Police Chief Steve McCulley, Snoqualmie schools facilities director Carl Larson, head Mount Si football coach Charlie Kinnune, and Wildcat football boosters president Jeff Mitchell to turn the former Station 87 siren (pictured below) into a souped-up noisemaker for Wildcat home football games. Installed this month atop the scoreboard, the 150-pound iron siren blares for every touchdown. Football players Jack Nordby and Brad Christensen, front row, represent the team. “Now, it’s up to these guys to make sure the siren goes off,” says McCulley.

Rescued and restored, the new Spirit Siren at Mount Si stadium links cities, players, fans and history By Seth Truscott Editor

Friday night action at Wildcat Stadium gets louder and brighter this fall, thanks to a project that links the local high school, police chief, North Bend mayor, businesses and football boosters, players and coaches. A group of volunteers, led by Snoqualmie Police Chief and Wildcat parent Steve McCulley, took the siren from the former, now-empty Fire Station 87 in North Bend

to power up the scoreboard at Mount Si High School. Now, at home games, every time the home team scores, the 70-year-old siren will whoop and a restored fire-truck light will flash. “Kids love loud noises,” said Mount Si head coach Charlie Kinnune. “I love it because it’s a piece of history.” It was McCulley who had the bright idea to take the 1940s-era siren down from the vacated station at North Bend City Hall, and give it new life at the high school.

An escaped 15-year-old inmate of Echo Glen Children’s Center spent a night and a morning on the lam before going back in police custody. A half-dozen Snoqualmie officers and State Troopers combed the woods in the margins of Interstate 90 Friday morning, Sept. 20, looking for the youth, who fled the children’s center Thursday evening. With the aid of a State Patrol helicopter, he was found by 11 a.m. the following day.
