Timber Ridge Elementary School was chosen as the name for the Snoqualmie Valley School District’s newest primary school, slated to open in September. School board members unanimously voted on the name at their regular Jan. 28 meeting.

The decision concluded a three-month process of gathering public input on name ideas from the community.

The 70,000 square-foot school building is now under construction at 34412 S.E. Swenson Dr., Snoqualmie. Principal Amy Wright of Opstad Elementary was selected as the principal and a steering committee has been formed to establish a charter for a Parent Teacher Student Association, or PTSA, for the school. Parents interested in participating on the Timber Ridge PTSA Steering Committee should attend the first meeting, 6:30 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 10, in the district offices, 8001 Silva Ave. S.E., Snoqualmie).
