Speaking to more than 90 people at the AEA luncheon, Larson said he is grateful that Snoqualmie has been able to increase its funding for human services in recent years to create “healthy minds, hearts and souls” in the community. “What you do is huge to me,” he told the human-services leaders. “You do us all a huge favor.”
