Snoqualmie Police hosted a barbecue for National Night Out, on Tuesday, Aug. 4, in North Bend’s Si View Park.

Department staff and family cooked up more than 750 hot dogs and hamburgers for almost 900 people who attended.

Participants had the opportunity to learn more from their local police officers, as well as from the Issaquah Police dispatch office, the FBI, Washington State Patrol’s bomb-sniffing dogs and the state Department of Fish and game. Officer James Sherwood coordinated the big event.

Next year, the department plans to hold a National Night Out event in Snoqualmie.

Officer James Sherwood, Larry Warren, and Lynn McCulley kept busy at the grill, cooking up burgers and dogs for roughly 900 guests.
