In historic downtown North Bend, Eurolounge Cafe owner Sinacia Yovanovich does his famous pour-over—steeping boiling water for a rich, smooth cup of coffee.
Find it all downtown
C
all it what you will, a cure for boredom or retail therapy, the shopping expedition is a grand American tradition, made even grander when you can find everything from handmade jewelry to tools for home projects without even leaving the Valley. If you’d like to energize yourself, try finding inspiration at SingleTrack Cycles, 119 W. North Bend Way. The full-service shop carries a wide variety of bike types and brands, parts, and gear, and they do repairs and bike fittings, too. Just for fun, check out Selah Gifts or Birches Habitat, both nearby gift shops with a quirky sense of humor. Then it’s time to reward yourself for all your hard work, so head out to the Riverbend Cafe, 14303 436th Ave S.E. for a slice of that pie.
Sweet and savory “It’s the little things in life that make people happy,” says Eurolounge owner Sinacia Yovanovich, as he gathers the items needed to make the famous “pour-over” at his North Bend cafe. Those little things—actively-boiling water and fresh-each week coffee beans, and, of course, a little showmanship—are the difference between grabbing a coffee, and experiencing the rich, smooth indulgence of a decadent cuppa at the old-fashioned bar. They make the same difference in the Eurolounge’s food, which Yovanovich takes as seriously as his coffee in the threeyear-old creperia. From the long, narrow building on North Bend Way, Yovanovich is delighted to serve up sweet and savory crepes made from old Romanian recipes, and fresh local ingredients—“we don’t even have a freezer!” he says.

Snoqualmie, city of changes
S
noqualmie is located 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 waterfall that attracts visitors from around the world. This and other landmarks, such as Snoqualmie Point Park, Mount Si, and the Northwest Railway Museum, create a unique place of scenic beauty in which to live, work, and play. Snoqualmie has been the fastest-growing city in Washington since 2000. With a current population of 11,700, Snoqualmie neighborhoods include MATT LARSON Historic Downtown, the Snoqualmie master-planned community Mayor of Snoqualmie Ridge, and rural homes. Thirty-five percent of residents are under the age of 18 and are served by the award-winning Snoqualmie Valley School District. While tourism is the primary contributor to Snoqualmie’s economy, many large businesses are moving here, providing jobs to local residents and strengthening the economy. Small local businesses offer many types of services, shopping, and restaurants. Snoqualmie is the official “Home of the Boeing Classic,” the annual PGA Champions Tour. It has the distinction of having been named the “Greenest Town in Puget Sound” by PSE for resident participation in the Green Power program and will be installing solar panels on the Snoqualmie Community Center. It is also designated as a Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation. Recreation in Snoqualmie is a key feature of the high quality of life. There are more than 35 parks and 30 miles of maintained trails, hundreds of acres of open space, a large dog park, and access to regional trails and outdoor recreation.

Something for everyone
isitors who come to spend an hour exploring majestic Snoqualmie Falls often end up spending the rest of the day checking out the rest of what historic downtown Snoqualmie has to offer. Historic downtown Snoqualmie is centered on the Northwest Railway Museum’s 120-year-old depot and vintage rail cars. Snoqualmie Ridge includes plenty of community parks, dining and shopping options, while Snoqualmie Point Park and Snoqualmie Casino draw visitors for unparalleled views and gaming action.
Variety is the spice of life
Carmichael’s True Value Hardware has been Snoqualmie’s general store for a century. Locals come here to buy their needed pipes and parts, but owners Wendy Thomas and Brian Woolsey keep this place stocked Gag gift: An inflat- with enough gifts, cards, able moose head is a games, decor, garden items and just plain fun conversation starter and goofy stuff to ensure at Carmichael’s that most downtown visitors spend an inordinate amount of time browsing their way along the rustic wood-floored aisles at this community original. Rain or shine, you’re sure to find something to make you smile, or strike up a conversation with a new friend at Carmichael’s. Stop by at 8150 Falls Ave. S.E.

Fall City Historical Society By Ruth Pickering Fall City Historical Society President As a small unincorporated rural town, Fall City has a “family” feeling. From 2004 to 2006, when local resident and historian Jack Kelley’s book “Jack’s History of Fall City” was coming together, that “family” stepped up, sharing photos and history and donating to help with publishing expenses. As the publication date neared, it felt important for this community enthusiasm to continue. So, the decision was made to form the Fall City Historical Society. Much of the Historical Society’s early period, 2007 to 2010, was dedicated to the production of our own book, “Preserving the Stories of Fall City.” Funded in part by Heritage 4Culture, it was published in 2010, with 350 pages and more than 500 photos. Firsthand memories of growing up in Fall City are included, from over 50 contributors. We are honored that in 2012, Jack Kelley chose to pass on the copyright, printing rights and all proceeds from his history of Fall City to the society. As a small historical society, we have to be firmly based in caring for our collections but also flexible and imaginative when it comes to getting our history out in the community. We showcase theme-based displays at the annual Fall City Days event, offer a monthly historical article in the Fall City Neighbors Newsletter (also available online) and publish an anticipated Fall City Calendar with a unique historical theme each year. We always have a lot of fun along the way! With our “History in Your Hand” items, you can enjoy a “side of Fall City history” with your coffee…or beer! Building and caring for our collections keeps us busy. We have over 1,000 photos and about 1,200 documents and objects. Because we have no public museum building for ongoing displays, we are constantly on the lookout for ways to make history visible. We have mobile displays and have had pop-up displays at the local library and storefronts. Look for us on Facebook and like us to get notified of new postings! Our recent focus has been on creating a much more extensive website and making our collection of photos and objects accessible online. We are excited to announce that this is happening at our new site, www.fallcityhistorical.org. Fall City Historical Society PO Box 293 Fall City, WA 98024 fallcityhistorical@juno.com

Kia and Lyle Geels,owners of Raging River Cafe and Club, bring live music to Fall City every weekend. If the bands don’t get you up and dancing, they don’t come back, says Kia.
Independent Fall City
F
all City is an unincorporated community at the intersection of the Snoqualmie and Raging Rivers, and State Routes 202 and 203. Hundreds of rafters float through the well-placed city each summer, but most of them probably miss Trinkets and Treasures, an antiques and consignment store that features, clothing, fine art, furniture and lots of those aforementioned trinkets. Find Trinkets and Treasures at 33511 S.E. Redmond-Fall City Rd. If it’s lunchtime, you’ll have plenty of options, all of them good, from the beloved fast-food shack Small Fryes, to the burgers-and-brews places lined up on the main drag, to the more gourmet choices available at the Fall City Roadhouse or, if you’re willing to wait (and the wait is worth it) till 4 p.m. when the Fall City Bistro opens, you can snack on white truffle popcorn while reviewing a long menu suggesting pairings with its impressive wine list.
Fall City Arts Park There’s a colorful corner in Fall City that will always be home to the arts. The Fall City Arts Park, a project of Fall City Arts, is the place to find hand-painted salmon (or birds or other wildlife) during the city’s Fish Festival each September, spectacular chalk art on the sidewalks for Fall City Days, and other arts on display throughout the year. Find the Fall City Art Park, and maybe the next activity of sponsoring organization Fall City Arts, at the corner of 335th Place Southeast and Southeast Redmond-Fall City Road. Learn more at www.fallcityarts.com.
Fall City Roadhouse What you see is a little simpler than what you get at the Fall City Roadhouse, the building that anchors Fall City at the corner of Hwy 202 and the Preston-Fall City Road. A fixture here since 1916, the Roadhouse is at the center of an active farming community and tourism hotspot when summer temperatures climb and urbanites come to the nearby Snoqualmie River to cool off. Manager and executive chef Benjamin Riggs, on board since 2012, works to honor the community’s history, farm background and freespirited nature with a welcoming restaurant. Riggs offers a creative menu featuring locallygrown ingredients in hearty farm fare. The place truly is a roadhouse, too, with six guest rooms upstairs decked out in vintage ‘20s-era linens 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 Preston Fall City Rd S.E.
Raging River Live Music If you’re looking for live music, look to the Raging River Cafe Cafe and Club in Fall City. The popular after-hours spot is home to live entertainment every night of the week, with no cover charge. The beer is always cold, and the burgers are pretty good, too! 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.

Saving Tolt’s history Left, Carol Ladwig/Record Photo | Above, Courtesy photo
Nature’s bounty at Carnation A rural town of 1,800 residents, Carnation prides itself on being friendly and safe, a family-oriented community. Within easy reach of Seattle, Carnation features an abundance of natural beauty and outdoor experiences. Framed by the Cascade foothills and nestled where the Tolt and Snoqualmie Rivers meet, Carnation is in the center of the most productive agricultural district in King County. 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 Contented 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-long Snoqualmie Valley Trail, the 574-acre Tolt-MacDonald Park and Campground, and is home to an eight-acre off-leash dog park. More than 250,000 visitors per year come to Tolt-MacDonald Park to camp, enjoy the Tolt and Snoqualmie Rivers, and ride mountain 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 which provide opportunities for all age groups to enjoy outside activities. Residents and visitors alike can enjoy outdoor recreation experiences in and around Carnation.
Shops welcome yarn afficionados, antiquers and diners to downtown Carnation. Above, fresh produce at Carnation Farmer’s Market.
Carnation Farmers Market Lower Valley Farmer’s Market happens from 3 to 7 p.m. Tuesdays, May through November, in downtown Carnation Nestled in the heart of the Snoqualmie Valley, you’ll find plenty of fresh, local produce at the Carnation Farmers Market. 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 supporters 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 relationships, and fostering a ‘we’re all in this together’ kinship that can weather any calamity. Visit on Tuesday afternoons and buy directly from your farm6ers. 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.

Isabel Jones, Tolt Historical Society director, with a photo of Carnation’s first mayor, Elmer Sorenson, at the museum office. 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 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 Nestle, 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 board appreciates all Elbridge Stuart does for them to keep improving the museum. At this time, the organization has several thousand artifacts dating from the 1800s, including early logging and farming tools, ladies’ combs, a full case of Tolt High School memorabilia from 1925 to 1993 when it was closed, and a large collection of dolls, doll furniture and sports equipment. The museum is open to the public on Saturday afternoons from 1 to 3 p.m. on the following dates for 2014: March 22; April 12; May 24; June 21; July 19; Aug. 16; Sept. 6; Oct. 4; and Nov. 15. Other openings can be arranged for families and groups by contacting Jones at isabelj2@juno.com.

P
The outdoors is calling
lan a day trip or family excursion in the Valley—you’re sure to find amazing sights and experiences in our Great Outdoors. There’s plenty to do, from hiking Mount Si and exploring Meadowbrook Farm, to fishing for steelhead or kayaking at Rattlesnake Lake or the Middle Fork. Your options include:
Hiking, biking, horse riding Nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, the communities of Fall City, Preston, North Bend, Snoqualmie, and the Summit at Snoqualmie share some of the richest geographic areas in the Northwest. Detailed information about many local hikes is available through the Washington Trails Association at www.wta.org or the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust at mtsgreenway.org. Additional information about general recreation opportunities is available at www.snovalley.org.
Mount Si Mount Si offers a challenging 8-mile round trip hike with 3,800 feet of elevation gain with a spectacular view of the Valley, Mount Rainier and Olympics. Little Si is a moderate five-mile round trip hike that provides great views of the Valley. Twin Falls is a beautiful three-mile round trip hike with 1000 feet of elevation gain. The trail offers a charm-ing footbridge and two waterfalls, and it connects with the Iron Horse Trail. Cedar Butte is a three-mile hike with 900 feet of elevation gain and views across North Bend to Mount Si. The trail also connects with the John Wayne Trail.
Rattlesnake Ledge is four-mile hike with an elevation gain of 1,100 feet. This local favorite offers spectacular views of the Valley and beyond (weather permitting) and the trailhead is located at picturesque Rattlesnake Lake. John Wayne Trail is a 108-mile trail that stretches from Rattlesnake Lake in North Bend all the way to the Columbia River. It’s suitable for hiking and biking, and most parts are suitable for towing trailers with children in them. Snoqualmie Valley Trail is a 31-mile gravel trail that winds through the entire Valley and connects with many other trails along the way. The trail can be accessed at points in Fall City, North Bend and Snoqualmie.
Golfing The Snoqualmie Valley is home to four beautiful public golf courses, as well as a Jack Nicklaus-designed private course located on Snoqualmie Ridge. Golfers of all levels enjoy magnificent views of Mount Si and the Cascade Mountain foothills while strolling the lush fairways threaded through open lowlands. Visit www.snovalley.org for more information about specific courses.
Fishing Some of the finest trout, whitefish and steelhead in the world are available in the waters of the Snoqualmie Valley region. The Snoqualmie River and tributaries like Tokul Creek, Tolt and Raging Rivers are a steel header’s dream come true. There are drift boat launches in three locations and plenty of space for bank angling. Check out www. snovalley.org for detailed information.
All aboard! Visit the Northwest Railway Museum for a unique living history experience that has been a part of western Washington since 1957. Visitors to the Northwest Railway Museum can catch a train to another time, where they experience how railroads influenced settlement and everyday life in Washington State. They explore train cars, exhibits, and a Victorian-era depot while following in the footsteps of more than one million travelers who have passed through its doors since 1890. They also experience travel before the age of Interstate highways while seeing, riding and feeling the excitement of a working railroad with all of its bells and whistles. Regular trains operate weekends beginning in April and run through October 19. For visitors that want more, join the museum on Saturdays from May through October for a docent-led tour of the new Train Shed exhibit building, this year featuring the 1898built railway Chapel Car 5 “Messenger of Peace,” a caboose built at a sawmill during the height of World War II, and a massive locomotive used by Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. to log the forests near Mount Rainier. Returning to the present, visitors have a multitude of opportunities for fun at the museum’s special events: Day Out With Thomas™, Mother’s, Father’s and Grandparent’s Day weekends, Snoqualmie Railroad Days Festival, Halloween Train and Santa Train. The museum has been developing facilities for more than ten years and this year is beginning construction of a library and archives facility adjacent to the exhibit building. This continuing phase in the development of the Railway History Center will also feature expansive public restrooms and a classroom. This new space will support space to preserve and access historical documents, books and photographs, and will provide a reading room for public access to this collection of non-circulating materials. Although, the Northwest Railway Museum allows visitors an out-of-the-ordinary way to “time travel,” a stopover in 2014 promises an event-filled and fun experience for all ages. Learn more about the Northwest Railway Museum at www. trainmuseum.org.

Volunteers with Fall City Food Pantry fight hunger from a Methodist church basement.
Help, when you need it
S
ometimes, neighbors need help making ends meet or dealing with emergencies. Several organizations in the Snoqualmie Valley are ready to help.
Hopelink Hopelink’s Sno-Valley Center in Carnation is one of the nonprofit agency’s five emergency services centers in east and north King County. Through 35 different programs, Hopelink helps homeless and low-income families, children, seniors and people with disabilities meet their needs for food, shelter, family development and stabilization, transportation and adult literacy skills. The Hopelink approach is to promote self-sufficiency in a way that creates lasting personal and community change. The emergency services center in Carnation serves the area north of I-90 and stretches east through Skykomish, providing financial assistance and food to about 150 families a month. In addition to the food bank, Hopelink programs at the Sno-Valley Center include eviction assistance, move-in help, prescription and gas vouchers, bus tickets, a clothing bank, energy assistance and adult education programs – including GED preparation and ESL tutoring. Free help through the WithinReach Bridge to Basics program is available monthly. Hopelink is located at 31957 E. Commercial St., Carnation.
Fall City Food Pantry The Fall City Community Food Pantry is a nonprofit community program of the Fall City United Methodist Church and is open to anyone in need of grocery assistance. It was established in 2007 for the purpose of fighting hunger in the community. The Food Pantry exists to provide food and oth-
er household items to individuals and families who find themselves in need and reside within the Snoqualmie Valley and surrounding areas without prejudice or promotion of any faith. The operations of the Fall City Food Pantry are sustained by the support of the Snoqualmie Valley community through local donors, farmers and food drives sponsored by our schools, Scout troops, firefighters, the U.S. Postal Service “Stamp Out Hunger Day,” golf teams, faith-based groups and numerous others. Particularly endearing are the donations made by children who ask their friends to bring food instead of presents to their birthday parties or who want to share the contents of their piggy banks. For more information or to make a contribution, visit www.fallcityfoodpantry.org or friend them on Facebook.

Greetings from the Snoqualmie Valley Schools! We are proud of our schools and committed to making them the best. Our primary focus is to ensure high levels of learning for every student in order to prepare them for college, 21st century careers, and citizenship. In partnership with families and the community, our district is striving to provide high-quality educational opportunities, academic rigor and student support services in a positive and safe school environment. Several key initiatives have begun, aimed at improving our schools: Last fall, the Freshman Campus was launched at Mount Si High School. This new configuration is yielding positive results for students on both campuses, and we are optimistic about the long-term impact this will have on our high school students. We are currently engaged in a concerted effort to expand educational opportunities in science, technology, engineering and JOEL AUNE Snoqualmie Valley mathematics (STEM), while implementing technology upgrades and training that School District will benefit students and build capacity Superintendent in our staff. Our district is further investing in teachers, as a new system for teacher and principal evaluation is now being implemented. This system will support and encourage the continued growth and development of our staff so they are able to serve students and maximize their learning potential. In recent months, an in-depth process of facilities planning has been underway as we consider future growth and look to further improve our educational program in the years to come. A new strategic plan has been created. The plan defines the vision and future direction of the district, as we continue to pursue excellence. Snoqualmie Valley voters recently approved two levies for funding to sustain day-to-day school operations, student programs, and technology for the next four years. We are grateful to this community for its tremendous support of our schools. The district and its schools rank among the best by many measures. In recent years our schools, staff and students have received numerous awards, and garnered recognition at the state and national levels. We are committed to building upon these successes, and are constantly seeking out opportunities to raise student learning in our schools to even higher levels. Snoqualmie Valley public schools serve approximately 6,300 students from preschool through grade 12 in nine schools, the Mount Si Online Learning Program, and the Parent Partnership Program, for families who prefer to school their children at home. Our district employs approximately 630 dedicated staff members. Each day, our outstanding teachers work to engage students with high-quality instruction, while support staff provide assistance to the educational process and ensure a safe and secure learning environment for our students. We invite you to visit our schools and see for yourself the great things happening in our classrooms.

Its founding mission is to promote the work of theater educator, Viola Spolin whose teachings make theater accessible to everyone. In its 10th year presenting music, comedy, variety and theater, Valley Center Stage also produces events for many well-known local, regional and national entertainers throughout the year.

Snoqualmie Valley Historical Museum Home 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 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday through Tuesday, April through October and Monday through Tuesday, November through March. The Snoqualmie Valley Historical Museum has a rich collection of photographs, stories, and pioneer artifacts. Visitors can view items from a turn-of-the century kitchen, see tools and toys used by people living in that era, and check out what the Valley was like in the year 1940. An additional exhibit also looks at artifacts and history of the Snoqualmie Tribe. The Museum Farm Shed provides a window display of the history of agriculture in the area.

Teens and kids have a place to hang out and be themselves, with plenty of afternoon and evening programs at the Snoqualmie Y and Community Center.
Snoqualmie Valley YMCA
T
he 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 programs. 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 strengthening 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 beforeand 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.

Professionals play Thursday through Sunday. Thursday is date night, and features softer music. Saturdays are the biggest groups, and more boisterous. Club founder Danny Kolke plays with his jazz trio most Sundays. Boxley’s is located at 101 W North Bend Way, North Bend. Get directions and check out a calendar of live music at www.boxleysplace.com/web.
