Imagine Housing evolves building design for affordable complex, but single Ridge entrance remains
Feb 14 2013, 1:11 PM Imagine Housing, the organization behind the 160-unit affordable housing development on Snoqualmie Ridge, holds the second of two informational meetings on its planned seven-building project at 7 p.m. next Wednesday, Feb. 20, at Snoqualmie City Hall.

She also shared details of the planned community-use building, and showed drawings of the craftsman-influenced design. Wrong-way driver leads police on high speed pursuit from Snoqualmie to Kirkland

Who’s the best in the Valley, for the Valley? | Opinion
Feb 14 2013, 3:51 PM Next week, the list for our annual Best of the Valley competition should be nestled in your newspaper. For some years, the Record has conducted a reader poll on favorite businesses, services and public officials in the Valley. It’s one of the more popular contests we do annually, with reason. We’re polling residents for their picks in nearly 60 categories in the contest, which is both an annual bragging-rights showdown among local business, and a snapshot of our community and its movers and shakers. It’s about more than business: It’s a way to gauge buzz for the best non-profit, the best Valley event, the best volunteer, firefighter, national treasure, police officer and city employee. Public servants and business people with a lot of friends, family and local connections typically get a good showing, but newcomers and dark horses can often shine.
