Snoqualmie Valley veteran’s groups will observe Memorial Day on Monday, May 27. Ceremonies, going from Preston through Fall City and North Bend to the Valley memorial park in downtown Snoqualmie.
A meal of hot dogs and baked beans will be served afterwards at the American Legion Post, River Street, Snoqualmie.
The local American Legion Post is holding a Memorial Day Drive, and is asking local businesses to help by donating part of their proceeds on the Memorial Day weekend.
When Bellevue College student Kyle Whitney and his basketball team take the court this week in a tournament featuring top teams from around the country in Louisville, Ky., he will realize a lifelong dream.
An athlete for most of his life, including his prep days at Mount Si High School, Whitney always saw himself on the biggest stages competitive athletics had to offer.
But he never could have imagined how he would get there, or what it would look like when he did.
It all came down to a single hit.
With the score tied, two-all, two outs and two strikes in the bottom of the second, Nick Adams was in the hot seat, hoping to stave off an overtime battle with a dangerous North Thurston team.
Adams nailed it, hitting a fielder’s choice grounder to second, and runner Evan Johnson made it safely to second, allowing Joey Cotto to cruise home for his second run.
Local talent and creativity is celebrated annually with the Wildcat Film Festival, the big-screen premiere of student films at the North Bend Theatre. Every year, film students, many of them fresh from wins in the Northwest Film Festival (and this year is no exception, see sidebar), present some of their best works during the evening fundraiser for the Wildcat Production Club at Mount Si High School.
This year, local caring and concern will also be a part of the celebration. Roughly 30 short films entered in the “Your Choice, Your Voice” video contest sponsored by the Snoqualmie Valley Community Network will also be screened during the evening, and the winners of the $500 top prize will be announced.
