Guide to the Valley
W
elcome to your first stop for resources in the Snoqualmie Valley. This is the 2015 Snoqualmie Valley Chamber of Commerce Community Guide and Directory, a collection of essential information, whether you’re a Valley native or new to the community. Inside, you’ll also find introductions to local cities, emergency services, the Snoqualmie Valley school district, and information on where to find shopping, live entertainment and, if you’re in a volunteering frame of mind, the perfect opportunities to get involved in your community. Located in the heart of the Mountains-to-Sound Greenway, the Snoqualmie Valley includes the communities of North Bend, Snoqualmie, Preston, Fall City and Snoqualmie Pass. Here, you can find small town charm, historic landmarks, and scenic beauty blended with active community growth and world-class facilities. Surrounded by stunning vistas of Mount Si, Rattlesnake Ridge and the Cascade Mountains, North Bend charms with its historic downtown and breathtaking views. It offers an eclectic mix of dining and shopping, including the North Bend Premium Outlets. The area presents impressive hiking and bicycling trails and paths. Snoqualmie is best known for Snoqualmie Falls, attracting more than 1 million visitors from around the world each year. Water storms 268 feet over granite cliffs, for an amazing experience any time of year. In Snoqualmie, you will also find the Northwest Railway Museum, which offers scenic excursions aboard antique train cars along a five-mile stretch of historic railway. When exploring the Valley, your first stop should be the Snoqualmie Valley Chamber of Commerce office and Valley visitor’s center, located at 38767 S.E. River St. in downtown Snoqualmie. It is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends, Memorial Day through Labor Day. This guide goes out to thousands of residents, and will also be available throughout the year at the visitor’s center, as well as the Valley Record office, located just across the street at 8124 Falls Ave., Snoqualmie. Learn more about the Snoqualmie Valley Chamber of Commerce at http://www.snovalley.org, or call (425) 888-6362.
What the Chamber does for you Business development The Chamber partners with cities to build a robust economy, create prosperity and jobs and market the Valley. The chamber offers self-paced, online business skills courses for its members. It also works on behalf of the business community to communicate with city, county and state agencies to represent economic development. Contact CEO Lizzy Billington at info@snovalley.org.
Valley Young Professionals The chamber’s Valley Young Professionals, aimed at connected business people in the Valley, age 21 to 39, creates an authentic culture for young professionals to connect, serve and grow. The Valley Young Professionals host a monthly hangout event at local venues for business people to meet, greet and network through food and fun. Led by a 12-member committee, it meets and engages in service opportunities to support growth and the Chamber. Learn more about the program at snovalley.org/vyp or find them on Facebook.
Community Events Building community is an essential part of the Chamber’s work, for those who live, work, or play here in the Valley. Look to the Chamber for more events like its spur-of-the-moment communitywide tailgate party, held just before the Seattle Seahawks played in their second consecutive Super Bowl, and for events that draw from the wider area, like the successful Winter Magic ice rink that drew thousands of visitors during the holidays.
