Along with members of the Snoqualmie Valley Moose Lodge, Encompass Executive Director Gregory Malcolm, North Bend Mayor Ken Hearing, left, and North Bend Police Chief Mark Toner, right, speak with Wes Crowder, Supreme Governor of the Loyal Order of Moose, during Crowder’s visit to North Bend on Tuesday, April 17. Crowder holds Tommy Moose, a Moose-sponsored plush toy given to emergency responders to help children during times of crisis.

North Bend was one of four lodges that Crowder chose to visit in Washington. He is the first Supreme Governor in the local organization’s 80-plus-year history to visit.

The North Bend lodge is located at 108 Sydney Avenue, behind Sawan Thai.
