The searchers: Combing the wild places, Valley’s search and rescue teams always keep people in mind

The answer was slow and deliberate. It had to be accurate and legal, and because it was about not just the subject of a cancelled mission, but also about his friends and family.
No, they hadn’t found him during the search mission, which was called off Sunday evening, Jan. 6, but the Guardian 2 helicopter had been in the air around Mount Si, looking for him that morning, in the first good flying weather of the week. That was officially all Glenn Wallace could say.

The 10 essentials, as Glenn Wallace, spokesperson for King County Search and Rescue, calls them, are basic but vital.
“They don’t have to be expensive, and they don’t have to be big,” says Wallace, but you’ll want them with you in case the unexpected happens.

Major projects, signs of economic growth, and citizens and residents stepping up to make Snoqualmie work better. They've all got Mayor Matt Larson on a much more optimistic beat in 2013.
Giving his annual 'State of the City' talk to the Snoqualmie Valley Chamber of Commerce at their packed January 18 luncheon at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge, the Snoqualmie leader was upbeat, sharing signs of the times like the new dual police force, Tokul roundabout, new parks and street repairs.
"The state of the city remains vibrant and strong," Larson said.
