Tackling the obesity epidemic: Snoqualmie Valley Hospital physicians offer advice
Karen LaJambe - Courtesy photo Oct 29 2012, 9:46 AM It’s no secret that obesity is one of the country’s most serious health problems.

The hall has hosted thousands of events and involved itself in Valley life for over 100 years. Among the Masons, the word “Lodge” refers to the group of men, while the “hall” refers to the building. With the coming of railways, a bridge over the Snoqualmie, and a thriving hop industry in the 1880s, Fall City was soon experiencing a boom. In this climate of growth, seven men petitioned the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Washington for a dispensation to form a lodge in Fall City.
