Description

For thousands of years, the Snoqualmie Valley has been a home for the Snoqualmie people. Share in the experience of the arrival of settlers from around the world, walking through history to observe the collision of cultures as the valley continues to evolve and change. What existed and what has been will be our future generationsโ€™ mission to carry forward. Steeped in heritage, rugged and pastoral beauty, arts, and shared culture, the majestic Snoqualmie River Valley is a national treasure we work to preserve. It forms a third of the Mountains to Sound Greenway National Heritage Area. This collection of photographs and archive materials introduces the rich history of the communities in the Snoqualmie Valley.

This book was created as a collaboration between the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe, Snoqualmie Valley Museum, Fall City Historical Society, Tolt Historical Society at Carnation, Duvall Historical Society, and local community members. Each organization works tirelessly to collect, preserve, and share our communitiesโ€™ histories. Proceeds from the sale of this book will support these efforts.
