A steady stream of neighbors and spectators flowed past Bob and Suzanne Siko's swamped house Tuesday morning offering to run errands, bring coffee, or help in other ways, and all of the traffic, down and up the Northeast 124th Street hill south of Duvall, had to cut through standing water to get there. They also warily skirted the energetic little stream that was once again flowing near the Siko home, instead of into it.
"The stream would still be going right past my front door right now if we hadn't had all these people come out… we literally put the stream back in it's banks last night," said Bob Siko on Tuesday morning.

Imagine asking young dancers to perform a difficult song in a parking lot with a light tower for stage lighting? Imagine having this happen with Snoqualmie Valley residents for two nights in a row as cast, crew and audience? It happened. Imagine them enjoying it and wanting to do it next year. In this the second year’s performance of Night on a Dark Trail, the weather didn’t dampen our spirits. While some stayed home, those who attended saw a great show and raised roughly $4,400 for Mount Si Food Bank. It is great to have an idea for a community event, to make it a reality. It requires work and sacrifice from a great many willing individuals and sponsors. Get the dirt on Snoqualmie's annexed mill site at upcoming open house

Parents and community patrons understand the importance of schools and embrace the responsibility of educating the community’s children.
