Through 2025, the Snoqualmie Valley Record has brought you print and digital stories that celebrate the common bonds that connect the people, businesses, nonprofits and community groups of North Bend, Snoqualmie, Fall City, Carnation and Duvall.

We hope you’ve been informed, enlightened, inspired, entertained or educated by coverage of the people and businesses that help keep the Valley ticking.

The Valley Record continues to provide accurate, fact-based reporting that offers public scrutiny and oversight.
