The following stories happened this week, 25 and 50 years ago, as reported in the Snoqualmie Valley Record. From the Record’s archives:
Thursday, Feb. 8, 1990
• Tracey Petroske of North Bend had a brush with death at Ocean Shores a couple of weeks ago. She was at the beach with her husband, Jim, and their 13-month-old son. The water was way out. Jim and the baby were on the jetty as she looked for shells. “All of a sudden, there was a huge swell,” Tracy recalled. “Jim ran with the baby onto the dunes. I panicked and tried to outrun the water…. He handed the baby to a bystander and when he turned around I was gone. Then I bobbed up …the next thing I knew, I was in the aid car.”
Thursday, Feb. 11, 1965
• Miller B. Stewart is the new Assistant Superintendent of Snoqualmie Valley School District. The school board named the Mount Si High School principal to the post in a unanimous vote Monday. Stewart has been with the district since 1932, having served as principal of Snoqualmie Falls Elementary as well as Snoqualmie High School before consolidation.
• The Mount Si Kittens have won the right to sole and undisputed occupancy at the top rung of the ladder in their loop. They cinched their league lead last Friday when they beat a formidable South Mercer team by one big point: 40 to 39.
