Fences came down on Friday and families lined up to enjoy the amenities at Snoqualmie’s Jeanne Hansen Park. The opening is a result of the Snoqualmie City Council’s vote March 23, to amend its contract with park developer Centex, a subdivision of Pulte Homes, and accept early ownership of Jeanne Hansen Park. “On Friday, the residents are going to be really happy,” Dan Marcinko, director of Public Work Department, told the council.

Building momentum NW Railway Museum plans big, builds big By ALLYCE ANDREW Staff Reporter

For an industry that started declining in the 1950s, the Northwest Railway Museum is picking up steam, literally. The museum staff and volunteers are resurrecting steam engine 924, a 100-year-old locomotive packed with Northwest history, but they aren’t stopping there. “It was donated (to us) in 1968, I think, from Inland Empire, a paper company in Spokane,” said Richard Anderson, museum executive director.
