Guide offers adventure tips for newcomers

and locals alikeBY SETH TRUSCOTT

Editor

Whether you are visiting the Valley for the first time, are a frequent tourist here, or are a local resident in search of something new to do, the 2010 Snoqualmie Valley Visitor’s Guide is here to help.

Staff at the Snoqualmie Valley Record, the local newspaper serving these communities since 1913, put together this guide with

an eye toward the day visitor to Snoqualmie, North Bend, Fall City and Carnation.

Every year, we cover these communities, not only in the top news stories, but also in the ways that people here relax and unwind. That gives us a unique perspec-tive on ways to enjoy this place (For our ‘Reasons to love Snoqualmie Valley, see the related story).

The Valley is full of fun things to do and places to explore. The hills of Mount Si, the mists of Snoqualmie Falls, the waters of Rattlesnake Lake, and the dog-, bike- and horse-friendly trails that wind

through the Valley are big draws, pulling in thousands of people each year. Our summer festivals include Snoqualmie’s Railroad Days, Carnation’s Fourth of July Celebration.

This guide can also help you discover things about our community you might otherwise miss, such as Fall City’s sculpture walk, Carnation’s yurt camping huts or North Bend’s Valley history museum.

So, use the resources and business listings found in this summer's guide to dis-cover our Valley. Enjoy our unique character and scenic beauty.

Two days of stirring music at the foot of majestic Mount Si are on the playbill in the first-ever Snoqualmie Valley Festival of Music, August 7 and 8 at Mountain Meadows Farm in North Bend.

“You will be able to enjoy a beautiful summer day sur-rounded by some of the finest chamber music in the world and beautiful mountains,” said Lenore Vardi, who will debut with the Vardi Chamber Players at the event.

Fusing energy and elegance, John Chmaj’s Cascade Jazz Quintet will kick off the fes-tival at 4 p.m., smashing the

wall of sound with takes on Latin classics, swing and more progressive works by the likes of Coleman, Monk, and Coltrane.

Local maestro Harley Brumbaugh’s 60-member Voices of the Valley chorus will continue Chmaj’s theme of popular selections, then bridge the divide between jazz and chamber music by moving the sound toward the classical genre.

Vardi promises her chamber players’ evening concert will feature “the best musicians from the Northwest, East Coast, and Canada playing among the elk

and eagles. It will be a dream concert in a dream setting.”

Festival of MusicAug. 7 and 8 at Mountain Meadows Farm, 10106 422nd Lane S.E., North Bend, WA. Free Parking.• 3:30 p.m. – gates open• 4 p.m. – Cascade Jazz Quintet with John Chmaj• 6 p.m. – Voices of the Valley with Harley Brumbaugh• 7 p.m. – Vardi Chamber Players with Lenore VardiTickets available at www.brownpa-pertickets.com: Tickets start at $20 for adults, $10 for youth.

V isitors to the Snoqualmie Val-ley don’t have to

leave their canine com-panions behind. The Val-ley includes a number of trails where leashed dogs can roam with their mas-ters. Or, if visitors want to let their dogs off the leash to romp or relax, Snoqualmie boasts two off-leash parks where dogs can be dogs. Fido-friendly locales include:

THREE FORKS DOG PARK, SNOQUALMIE » Across Boalch Avenue from Snoqualmie's Centen-nial Fields.

With an open meadow giving all dogs free range to run and play, Three Forks Off-Leash Dog Park, is both owner- and dog-friendly.

With enough space for dogs and picnic tables for visitors to enjoy the weather, the fenced-in dog park has access to water, leaving owners worry-free as their dogs roam the area. Clean-up bags are available.

RATTLESNAKE LAKE, NORTH BEND» Take Exit 32 on I-90, fol-low 436th Avenue/Cedar Falls Road south to Rattle-snale Lake.

Bring leashed four-

legged friends as a hiking companion to a number of trails around Rattlesnake Lake. With an option to climb to Rattlesnake Ledge, a 270-degree out-look over the Valley, there are also a number of stops along the way, such as the Cedar River Watershed Visitors Center and the Rain Drum Courtyard.

IRON HORSE STATE PARK, NORTH BEND» The Iron Horse trailhead access area is adjacent to Rattlesnake Lake, North Bend.

Take your pooch pal on a leash on one of the many rail-trails in North Bend. Part of a former railroad turned public rec-reation corridor, the trail gives owners the time to enjoy scenery, bird watch-ing and wildlife. It is sup-ported by Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, a nonprofit organization working to build a network of trails from former rail lines and connecting corridors.

PRESTON-SNOQUALMIE TRAIL » This walking route is best accessed behind Small Frye's eatery in Fall City.

A dog-friendly trail, this is another one of the 1,600 rail trails supported by Rails-to-Trails Conservancy in the Valley. It offers a

number of trails to bring leashed canine friends to Fall City.

TOLT-MACDONALD PARK , CARNATION» 31020 Northeast 40th Street, a few blocks off Highway 203.

Don’t leave canine friends behind when you picnic in the great outdoors at 574-acre Tolt-McDonald Park. Afterward, owners have the opportunity to take their dogs on a leash over a 500-foot suspen-sion bridge that crosses the Snoqualmie River and provides views of the river and Cascade foothills.

S-15 PARK SNOQUALMIE RIDGE OFF-LEASH AREA» Just off the corner of Jacobia Street and the Snoqualmie Parkway at the summit of Snoqualmie Ridge.

Dog lovers can bring their canine friends and let them romp around a 100-by-200 yard area tucked away in the Eagle Point neighborhood of Snoqualmie Ridge neigh-borhood. Equipped with benches and onsite pick-up bags, the off-leash area lets dogs play freely while owners sit and watch.

Sturdy store a draw after 101 years

By Allison EspirituStaff Reporter

Walking into the 101-year-old Carmichael's True Value Harware Store is like taking a step back in time to when life was laid back and things were a lot simpler.

Taking over Carmichael's in 2002 from Dick and Betty Carmichael, current owners Wendy Thomas and Brian Woolsey remember first walking into the building for the first time in 1991. It was that moment that the place moved them.

"I don't know what it is, but you walk into the building and it does something to you," Thomas said.

The historic building has been

a general merchandise store for a very long time. Originally built in 1902, the store was rebuilt in 1909 by the Reinig brothers after a fire from the neighboring Kinsey Hotel — where Snoqualmie Valley Record is now located — jumped the street and burned the store down.

"It's had several different incar-nations," Thomas said. "So it's a really sturdy, enduring place."

Thomas enjoys the role her store plays in the community, as well as its timeless feel.

"People walk in the door and what happens is that all of us are suddenly transported back to another time," she said. "I don't know if it's the floors, the smell (or) the feeling that it's not a new place that people like about it."

Minnie and Otto Reinig and George Ross staff the first Reinig general store in 1902. Today, it is home to a hardware store.

Timeless charm

The annual Twin Peaks Festival in North Bend celebrates a cult classic

television series and welcomes many fans of the work of direc-tor David Lynch each summer.

The festival is Friday through Sunday, Aug 6, 7 and 8. Started in 1993, the Twin Peaks Festival is an annual weekend-long cel-ebration of the early ‘90s TV show, Twin Peaks. On average, about 150 people from all over the world attend yearly. The fes-tival involves celebrity guests, a film night, a tour of filming loca-tions, contest and other activi-ties.

This year’s special celebrity guests will be actors Michael J. Anderson (red-suited Little Man

from Another Place), Jen Lynch (author of The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer and daugh-ter of creator David Lynch), Charlotte Stewart (Betty Briggs) and Kimmy Robertson (Lucy Moran).

The Lynch Movie night is held at 7 p.m. to midnight on Friday at the Seattle Art Museum in downtown Seattle.

A celebrity dinner and cos-tume contest is Saturday eve-ning, and a farewell picnic lunch closes the festivities on Sunday.

history tourRugged past lives on throughout the Valley

History is just a short car trip away when you visit the

Snoqualmie Valley. Fall City, Carnation, Snoqualmie and North Bend still resound with tales of the pioneers, men and women who forged communities, clubs and industries in a rugged and beautiful place. Today, the towns they trod are much changed, but many of the buildings, monuments — even the trees they planted — are still with us. Take a journey back in time with these eight sites.

1. Snoqualmie FallsFrom the Puget Sound Energy park, the visitor can gaze across the mighty cas-cade and see power plant

buildings still standing, at least until renovations at the park do away with them. Those buildings are just the surface signs of an entire underground power gen-eration complex that, when built in the late 1800s, was a pioneering enterprise. Workers bored through solid rock to create one of the first hydropower stations in the United States.

2. Meadowbrook FarmFew know that the Snoqualmie Valley was once a global center for the growing of hops, a vital ingre-dient in beer brewing. Much of that activity was centered on what is today called Meadowbrook Farm, 460 acres of scenic and pub-lic open space located between Boalch Avenue and Highway 202, midway between Snoqualmie and North Bend. By tradition the birth-place of the Snoqualmie Tribe, today the land is home to a natu-ral interpretive center, trails, herds of elk and many special events. In the summer, visitors can hike the meadows, spot wildlife, explore native forests and view activities such as plowing with vintage tractors. Parking is available at the Interpretive Center building, 1711 Boalch Ave.; at Centennial Fields park; Snoqualmie Middle School, and in multiple graveled areas along Park Avenue in Snoqualmie and Boalch Avenue in North Bend.

2. Fall City Hop ShedAnother legacy of the local hops industry is the Fall City Hop Shed, located at Fall City Park, just off the Fall City Highway 202 bridge. The shed is opened once a year to visitors during Fall City Days.The shed was built in 1888 by pio-neer George Rutherford at a land-ing on the Snoqualmie River. Hops were one of the first big industries in King County, and Fall City was the shipping point. Kilns in the building dried the product. Then, riverboats would load up with the buds and go to Seattle, where their cargo would be loaded on clipper ships and sent to Europe.But by 1900, the fall in price for hops and an insect invasion brought an end to the industry. Now, the shed is one of the few

reminders of the big hops era, and is the only building remnant of hop growing in King County, and possibly in all of Western Washington.

3. Fall City Totem PoleThe painted cedar totem pole visi-ble at Fall City Library, on Highway 202 in downtown Fall City, was carved in 1989 by Walt Williams of the Tulalip tribe. He copied the original, made in 1934 by Fall City resident H. H. Hinds.Hinds drew his inspiration from the legends and carving traditions of the Northwest coast. The Fall City pole depicts a Haida legend in which Raven, Flying Frog, and the Old Man of the Waterfall jour-ney in a magical canoe to rescue Moon from the grasp of a selfish deity and assure moonlight for hunters.

4. Preston ClubhouseSited on the Preston-Fall City Road just north of Preston, this land-mark has not changed much since it was built from local cedar and stone in 1939.The community hall was raised with labor from the Works Progress Administration, a federal agency that provided employ-ment during the Great Depression. The Preston Community Club meets here.

5. Fall City Methodist ChurchSpot the historic steeple of this 1899 structure at the corner of Southeast 43rd Place. The main portion of the building and the bell tower were built as a Baptist Church across from its present location. It was moved on log roll-ers to its present location in 1927 and expanded in 1954.

6. Sycamore corridorBike riders and leisure drivers know the place to go for a unique experience — the leafy views of the Reinig Road Sycamore Corridor.The towering trees were planted circa 1925 by workers from

the Snoqualmie Falls Lumber Company mill, who lived in hous-es along the road. Now vanished along with the rest of the com-pany town of Snoqualmie Falls, the neighborhood of Riverside extended up to what is now 396th Drive. Find the corridor by follow-ing Meadowbrook Way past Mount Si High School, across the Snoqualmie River, and follow the road right along Reinig Road.

7. Snoqualmie Depot.Northwest Railway Museum still brings passengers to the 120-year-old Snoqualmie Depot, a down-town landmark.The Snoqualmie Depot was con-structed in 1890 by the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern Railway and used by successor compa-nies Seattle and International Railroad, Northern Pacific Railway, and the Burlington Northern Railroad. It is an unusu-ally elaborate structure given the size of Snoqualmie in the 1890s, and managed to survive relatively intact until the railroad

abandoned the line in 1975. Trains were the economic lifeline of the community for decades, opening up Snoqualmie to new possibilities. Before trains, people who lived in the Valley were pio-neers. After the railroad, anyone could live here.

8. Carnation Farm / Camp KoreyThis large farm, located just outside of the city of Carnation, was once a world-renowned dairy farm run by the Carnation milk company. Today, the farm is a non-profit camp that helps sick children have fun, part of actor Paul Newman’s Hole in the Wall camps. The camp includes hundreds of acres of pasture and farm buildings, as well as cabins for visiting children and families. Special fundraising events are held each year.To reach Camp Korey, follow Carnation Farm Road about two miles west from the Carnation-Duvall Road (Highway 203).

MORNINGExplore downtown and find unique gifts at Miller’s store, run by the Carnation mayor. Take a walking tour of the community, available at www.carnationchamber.com. Sip a coffee at Cheree’s World — set in a former Carnation post office.

CarnationC arnation is a rural com-

munity working to grow its agricultural roots. The town

was once known as Tolt, after the Snoqualmie word “Tolthue,” or river of swift waters, in use for thou-sands of years. In 1917, the town was renamed for the world-famous Carnation Dairy. While the farm has moved on, Carnation is expanding its rural role as a center for local, arti-san farmers and a thriving farmer’s market.

NOONTour one of Carnation’s many artisan farms, and pick berries and fresh produce. Picnic at Memorial Park with lunchables from QFC. Then, head over to famed Remlinger Farms for a slice of berry pie.

NIGHTCamp out at Tolt MacDonald Park and see the stars. On July 4, take in an outdoor concert prior to a patriotic fireworks show. Stay in a tent-like yurt — reservations need at least one week’s notice or rent a campground or RV parking spot.
