Snoqualmie, Washington
Located 25 miles east of Seattle, Snoqualmie is best known for Snoqualmie Falls and its railroad history. While city government focuses on preserving Snoqualmie's small-town character, it also promotes a live, work, play environment supportive of established and new residents and business owners.
While many residents live in downtown Snoqualmie, which is the heart of the original town, the majority live in the master-planned community of Snoqualmie Ridge. With a current population of approximately 9,300, Snoqualmie is the State's fastest growing city.
Residents enjoy restaurants, stores, professional services, a new library, and an excellent school district. In 2009, a new city hall opened in the historic district where significant revitalization and economic development projects are underway. The new Snoqualmie Casino is close to downtown as well.
Right in the heart of the Mountains to Sound Greenway, Snoqualmie offers an abundance of outdoor recreation. The city has 34 parks ranging from play-grounds to athletic fields and offers many sports programs for kids. Many special events occur throughout the year such as the Railroad Days Festival and the Boeing Classic at the Snoqualmie Ridge Tournament Players Club Golf Course.
