Find your farmers

Summertime brings out the best in local food and family fun in area farmers markets

T

he best of the Valley, from live entertainment, fresh food and produce to unique gifts can be found Tuesday and Thursday evenings at both ends of the Valley.

North Bend Farmers Market

The North Bend Farmers Market is a summertime tradition, celebrating its 13th year at Si View Park, 400 SE Orchard Drive.

The weekly market is open Thursday evenings from 4 to 8 p.m., June 7 through Sept. 6, offering fresh produce, berries, honey, flowers, botanicals, baked goods, seasoning mixes, organic teas and hand-crafted items from art prints to yard décor, and prepared foods including wood-fired pizza, Bedouin style kabobs, Asian foods, shaved ice, kettle corn and Belgian waffles.

A much-loved part of the market, the summer concert series features local musicians in free concerts at the park’s picnic shelter, starting at 6 p.m. June through August, 5:30 p.m. in September. All concerts are free. Bring the family, lawn chairs or a picnic blanket, meet friends and enjoy great summer tunes at the park.

For the full farmers market schedule, visit www.siviewpark.org/ farmers-market.phtml.

Carnation Farmers Market In the lower Valley, the long-standing Tuesday Carnation Farmers Market kicks off every season with the popular Maypole dance, plus live music and special events. It’s a food-and-farm only market, so you’ll find plants, produce and wonderfully unique goods produced by local artisans. The market runs from 3 to 7 p.m.

Tuesdays, May through October, in downtown Carnation.

Visit www.carnationfarmersmarket.com for more information.

Housed under a majestic timber-frame structure designed, milled and hand-crafted by local artisans, the Carnation Farmers Market is sponsored by Sno Valley Tilth and operates in partnership with the city of Carnation.

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 fertilizer habits to decrease run-off, encouraging the reintroduction of native species, and restoring salmon streams.

Ride into history

Valley Record File Photo

Steam trains are running at the Northwest Railway Museum on special weekends, thanks to the museum’s steam restoration program.

Where in the region can you ride in a living history exhibit?

At the Northwest Railway Museum, with historic depots in Snoqualmie and North Bend, plus a history campus in between.

Train rides start in early April and continue on weekends through October, and as always, the museum offers more than just a train ride experience to visitors and rail fans. Nearly all regular train excursions, approximately two hours long, include a stop at the Railway History Campus, with the Train Shed Exhibit Building housing much of the museum’s rolling stock, part of the railroading history of the Pacific Northwest.

For an in-depth look into this history, docent-led premier tours of the Snoqualmie Depot are available by reservation Monday through Friday between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Reservations must be made a minimum of two weeks in advance. These small, personally led tours include a visit to the historic 1890 Snoqualmie Depot, a shop floor visit to the Conservation and Restoration Center to see the work going on in that unique facility and a tour of the Train Shed.

There are also many cars on display along the Heritage Trail, a walking path along the train rails from the Snoqualmie Depot to Snoqualmie Parkway.

The historic and Spellman-award winning Snoqualmie Depot is open to visitors from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

Nothing brings more excitement to the museum, though, than the sell-out Day Out with Thomas, two weekends in July.

Learn more about the Northwest Railway Museum at www. trainmuseum.org.

Snoqualmie Falls

Every year, more than 1 million people flock to Snoqualmie Falls. Just a short walk from a busy highway, visitors can take in the dramatic vista of cliff walls and falling water, hear the mighty 268-foot cataract and feel the spray of its mists.

Visit the Falls Snoqualmie Falls is accessible from two public parking lots just off State Route 202 about a half-mile northwest of downtown Snoqualmie. Travelers on Interstate 90 can access S.R. 202 from exit 25, by traveling on Snoqualmie Parkway north over Snoqualmie Ridge, or take the historic loop through downtown Snoqualmie via exit 27, eastbound. Park in the large, free lot across the road from the park and take the pedestrian skybridge across, or spring for one of the paid parking spots near the gift shop.

What to do?

There’s more to do at the Falls than getting soaked by the spray. Hike a trail, watch for wildlife, picnic on the visitors center’s grounds. Visit the landmark Salish Lodge and make dinner or spa reservations. Hike down to the lower viewpoint from the new hiking trail and boardwalk. Or try to spot the nesting peregrine falcons on the rock faces.

Snoqualmie Falls is home to a family of peregrine falcons. Try to spot them on their perches.

Above: A 268 foot cascade of boiling water, Snoqualmie Falls attracts more than 1 million visitors each year. This photo was taken in 2015 by a tourist. Below: The Puget Sound Energy Museum, open during summers, gives visitors the history of the engineering feat that created the power plant. Inset: A plant turbine on display at the museum dwarfs visitors.

Secrets of the Falls Snoqualmie Falls holds secrets beneath its waters. A century ago, workers bored tunnels beneath the bedrock and built one of the nation’s first hydroelectric power plants.

Puget Sound Energy completed a huge retrofit of the power plant and surrounding grounds and opened the Snoqualmie Falls Hydroelectric Museum in 2013. Learn about the legacy of the hydroelectric project through a free tour housed.

The museum opens May 27 and will be open through Labor Day. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.

Things to see...

Snoqualmie 8

No trip to Snoqualmie is complete without a trip to Snoqualmie Falls, and from there, it’s short trip into historic downtown for lunch, shopping, 4 3 and even some art to take home or create yourself at the Art Gallery of SnoValley, which is also 1 the city’s visitor center. Take a trip into history aboard one of the Northwest Railway Museum’s renovated train cars (www.trainmuseum.org), or 2 walk the museum’s Heritage Trail of rolling stock.

6 Visit the Valley veterans memorial, just outside the American Legion Hall, across the street from Snoqualmie City Hall. The monument honors soldiers from the area, including towns that no longer exist, who served in all past U.S. wars.

Snoqualmie is the new town that sprung up from the old mill town of Snoqualmie Falls, just down the road, so history is revered here in buildings such as the Woodman Lodge (woodmanlodge. com) and Carmichaels True Value on Falls Avenue. The Snoqualmie Valley School District operates district offices in the original Trains start running Don’t miss Day Snoqualmie High School building.

Birdwatching Wonders

By Tina Blade Contributing Writer There are as many reasons to turn your attention to the Snoqualmie River Valley’s birds as there are birds to see here. With its varied habitats of farmlands, forests, and wetlands, the Valley is a prime location for a variety of birds throughout the year.

One beautiful example is the Bullock’s Oriole. As you walk the Snoqualmie Valley Trail near Stillwater on a summer morning, you hear it first—a series of raspy calls and descending whistles coming from high in the cottonwood canopy. Following the sound, you look up, and catch a flash of flame-orange and black among the leaves. Then you see it, the male Bullock’s Oriole bringing an insect to the woven pouch of nest that hangs from a branch high above the trail.

Besides the Bullock’s Oriole, you might see Yellow and Wilson’s Warblers, the sky-blue Lazuli Bunting, Rufous Hummingbirds, Black-headed Grosbeaks, and the diminutive Common Yellowthroat in his bright yellow bib and black mask.

You are more likely to hear than see the shy Swainson’s Thrush. Russet brown with a delicately spotted breast, it blends perfectly into the woodland shadows.

Many of these birds are neotropical migrants that winter in Mexico, Central and South America and the Caribbean, then fly north to mate, nest, and raise their young.

You know it’s spring when you begin to hear them setting up and defending their territories in places like Rattlesnake Lake, Three Rivers Natural Area, Carnation Marsh Natural Area, Tolt-McDonald Park, the Stillwater Unit of the Snoqualmie Wildlife Area, and the farm fields and forests from North Bend to Monroe.

Marc Hoffman photos

Winter watching

Sikes Lake, Chinook Bend Natural Area and Carnation Farm Road are all prime locations for winter birding. And thankfully, when the temperatures drop, much of this can be done from the car.

On a winter’s-day drive through the Valley, you can find flocks of Trumpeter and Tundra Swans and wintering ducks in local pastures and ponds.

You can also see year-round and wintering raptors, including Roughlegged and Red-tailed Hawks, Peregrine Falcons, Bald Eagles, and even the occasional Golden Eagle perched on wires, power poles, and snags along the road.

In wooded habitats, you can hear the high, sweet calls of Ruby-crowned and Golden-crowned Kinglets flitting in the branches above. In the understory, the delicate song of the Pacific Wren spirals upward, almost out of the range of human hearing. And the taps of woodpeckers are ubiquitous.

It’s important to remember that birds are not “on-demand” performers. To see them requires the time, focus, and patience to go where they might be, then allow whatever is present to reveal itself to you.

Indeed, you might find that letting go of everyday concerns and tuning into

the bit of wildness around you can be its own reward.

There’s also an undeniable thrill when your diligence pays off and you finally catch sight of a beautiful songbird carefully tending its young. Or an eagle who’s been sitting high in tall snag suddenly swooping down from its perch, grazing the surface of a lake, then rising with a freshly caught fish in its talons.

Elk in the Valley Snoqualmie Valley, particularly Meadowbrook Farm, located between North Bend and Snoqualmie, is home to a large, healthy herd of elk, estimated at more than 500 in population.

The animals are protected on most public and private land, and by a hard-working group of volunteers in the Upper Snoqualmie Valley Elk Management Group.

Elk in the Valley are descended from a group of Rocky Mountain Elk, imported to the area in 1913.

They are ruminants, eating mainly grasses, berries and young cedar treetops.

Early morning and late evening are generally the best times to view elk — from a distance. Although they call the Valley home, the elk remain wild animals, and can be aggressive, particularly in June during calving season and in the fall’s mating season.

Many days, you can view the elk from your car, as they graze the fields around Meadowbrook Farm. Try this route, skirting about 2,000 acres of open space, for viewing elk: From the North Bend Tourist Information Center, head west to S.R. 202, on the way to Snoqualmie. After crossing the South Fork of

Viewing Elk (from http://wdfw.wa.gov) • Elk are primarily crepuscular (active at dawn and dusk); early morning and late evening are best times to observe them.

Top: Two bull elk face off on a foggy morning in 2016 on Meadowbrook Farm, in this photo by Danny Raphael. Above: Traffic backs up on S.R. 203 when elk cross the highway. Cars are the worst predator elk face in the area; roughly 50 animals each year are killed after being hit by cars.

the Snoqualmie River, turn right onto Boalch Avenue and follow it to the four-way stop at Meadowbrook Way Southeast.

Turn right at the stop and cross the one-lane Meadowbrook Bridge. Continue on Meadowbrook Way as it turns into Southeast Reinig

Road, and continue to 428th Avenue Southeast. Turn right on 428th and wind your way back into North Bend.

Or, take a small detour to look for mountain goats on Mount Si: Turn right onto Southeast 92nd Street, and go a quarter-mile, then pull over to have a look.

• When temperatures are mild, elk may be observed feeding in short bouts throughout the day. When not hunted, elk adapt well to humans and find lawns and golf courses excellent places to graze.

• A good time of year to observe elk is in fall. In late September and October, bulls are battling over females and are not as concerned about being seen.

• The best way to view wild elk is to find a meadow, or other open grassland they have been using and to wait quietly nearby.

• In winter, look for pits dug in snow where elk have been pawing for food, or for crisscrossing tracks in the snow typical of foraging elk.

Dog Days Visitors to the Snoqualmie Valley don’t have to leave their canine companions behind. The Valley includes a number of trails that allow leashed dogs to roam with their masters, plus a couple of off-leash or dog-friendly parks.

Take your dog on the trail or let them romp at these dog-friendly venues:

Three Forks Dog Park

39912 SE Park Street, Snoqualmie

Courtesy of the City of Snoqualmie in Snoqualmie, is both owner- and dog-friendly. There are eight acres of open space for dogs, picnic tables for visitors, water, and access to the Snoqualmie Valley Trail. Clean-up bags are available.

Iron Horse Trail and State Park

150 Lake Eastern State Park Road, North Bend

Miles of trails await you and your pooch pal at Iron Horse State Park. Clip on the leash and get ready to walk or run in the 1,600-acre park, lined with more than 100 miles of trails built on old railway lines. The former railroad turned public recreation corridor gives visitors the time to enjoy spectacular scenery, bird watching and wildlife. It is supported by Railsto-Trails Conservancy, a nonprofit organization working to build a network of trails from former rail lines and connecting corridors.

Rattlesnake Lake

19901 Cedar Falls Road SE North Bend

Views, hikes, and a brilliant blue lake are only the beginning at this popular park a short drive from Seattle. Bring leashed four-legged friends on one of the many trails around the lake, or up the steep hike to Rattlesnake Ledge for a panoramic 270-degree view.

Tolt-MacDonald Park

31020 NE 40th Street, Carnation

Don’t leave canine friends behind when you picnic in the 574-acre Tolt-MacDonald Park. Leashed dogs are welcome in the park and on the 500-foot suspension bridge that crosses the Snoqualmie River and provides views of the river and Cascade foothills. For a chance to stretch your legs, follow the trail past the ball fields to Carnation’s home-grown off-leash park, eight acres of fenced-in grass that your dog will love.

Carnation 8

Although it’s growing, Carnation still considers itself a 4 3 small farming community and farms are a big part of 1 life in the small town.

Life medieval

Volunteers and patrons work together to weave in and out to make a May pole.

See, hear and taste the way of medieval life at Camlann Medieval Village in Carnation Tucked in a forest off of Carnation’s Kelley Road Northeast, one need only pay a small fee to take a step back in time to the mid14th century.

Villagers spring to life at Camlann Medieval Village, a living history museum that has weekend festivals once a month.

In addition to seeing life as it was back then, patrons can opt for lunch or an evening meal at the Bors Hede Inne. Guests are treated to English cheeses, fruit or meat or vegetable pottage for lunch and a two-course meal for supper. The dinner dishes include everything from rastons (bread fortified with egg) to roast chicken in dragon’s blood sauce and buttered worts (lightly sautéed greens).

The village offers unique storytelling and magic shows as well, plenty to keep children interested and entertained. Guests are also welcome to rent medieval clothing for the time they are at the village.

President and founder Roger Shell said part of the reason the village exists is so the community can see where they came from.

“We don’t want to go back to the 14th century, although there’s a lot of good things there, but if we take the good things from there and bring them into our lives, we can improve our lives,” he said. “You can have a garden, you can build your own house, you can have your own business and you can actually talk to people in person.”

Camlann Medieval Village is open from 12-5 p.m. on weekends May through September and is located at 10230-10372 Kelly Road NE in Carnation. Admission is $5 for adults and $10 during festivals. Discounted admission is available for seniors and children.

Children 5 years old and younger are free.

For more information on Camlann Medieval Village, visit www. camlann.org.

Annual Snoqualmie Valley Visitor’s Guide | 33

Find yourself in the real ‘Twin Peaks’ As the debut of the new “Twin Peaks” TV series approached last May, fan anticipation reached a fever pitch, 27 years after the show that turned the Snoqualmie Valley into a pop-culture icon of the Pacific Northwest.

The hit show, which has spawned a culture of its own, drives consistent tourism from all over the world to Valley cities every year with an emphasis in the summer for the annual Twin Peaks Festival. But the series isn’t short of fans from within the Valley either.

Twin Peaks is a strange and magical place that lives in the hearts and minds of fans across the world, but you have to believe in Twin Peaks to find it on the map.

The fictional town in the cult television show is a blend of many places in the Snoqualmie Valley, and the greater Seattle area, where the original series was shot.

Yet each Valley town lays claim to its own spot in the Twin Peaks geography.

While Snoqualmie has the iconic Great Northern Hotel (Salish Lodge & Spa), the former site of the Twin Peaks sign and the Twin Peaks Sheriff ’s Department (DirtFish Rally School), North Bend is home to the revered Double R Diner (Twede’s Cafe, 137 W North Bend Way, North Bend) still famous for its cherry pie and coffee.

To find The Roadhouse, just go to the Fall City Roadhouse (4200 Preston Fall City Rd, Fall City), a few miles down S.R. 202 from the Great Northern.

Things to see...

With a population of more than 13,000 and a third of that under the age of 18, Snoqualmie is a family-focused community, especially in the newest neighborhoods on Snoqualmie Ridge. The city has been one of the fastest growing communities in the state for two decades, and much of that growth, including two elementary schools, a new library, police and fire stations, hospital and YMCA community center, has occurred on the Ridge.

Center Boulevard is aptly named, with a variety of restaurants, the library, and a huge community park at the end of the street.

Although it’s part of the city of Snoqualmie, the Ridge also celebrates its own identity with a Snoqualmie Valley Block Party, Fourth of July festivities and Ridge-wide events organized by the Residential Owners Association.

One thing that makes the master-planned neighborhoods here special is the proliferation of parks, more than 35 of them, plus maintained trails, hundreds of acres of open space and access to regional trails and outdoor recreation.

The Club at Snoqualmie Ridge is the official “Home of the Boeing Classic,” the annual PGA Champions Tour. The city also has the distinction of having been named the “Greenest Town in Puget Sound”

by PSE for resident participation in the Green Power program and installing solar panels on the Snoqualmie Community Center.
