The following stories happened this week, 25 and 50 years ago, as reported in the Snoqualmie Valley Record. From the Record’s archives:
Thurs., July 12, 1990
• A duck’s life isn’t as easy as it looks, and Tripod, a three-legged duck, is starting off with an extra problem. His extra leg is useless, but doesn’t interfere with his swimming, and isn’t expected to interfere with flying, when his wings develop. He was found in Olympia, but his rescuers didn’t want to release him into the wild with his disadvantage. They took him to the North Bend Animal Clnic, where they found a happy outcome. Clinic employee Kathleen MacCachran agreed to take in the little quacker.
• Last week, the Snoqualmie Planning Commission unanimously rejected the school district’s requet for a six-story “fly gallery” on the proposed permforming arts center at Mount Si High School. The arts center is part of a 2.5 year, $15 million renovation now underway.
•The QFC colors will soon be flying in North Bend and Carnation. Quality Food Cemters, Inc., last week announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the two Weller’s Shop-Rite stores in the Snoqualmie Valley.
Thurs., July 15, 1965
• Colonel L.R. Larson of Carnation, is now commander of the 51st Fighter Interceptor Wing at Naha, Okinawa.
• The Meadowbrook Farm, some 740 acres between North Bend and Snoqualmie, has changed ownership. The Pratt Agency, which held ownership since 1910, sold the farm to a group including Ralph Klein and Richard Zemp for an undisclosed figure.
• William L. Logan, 19, of Snoqualmie, received head lacerations in a one-car accident one mile west of Snoqualmie on PHS 522 at 9 p.m., July 10. Trooper Leaf, who investigated the accident, reports Logan went into a curve, lost control and struck three guard posts.
