Last Saturday night, Your Snoqualmie Valley, a group of Valley residents concerned with the proper use and annexation of the old Weyerhaeuser mill site into Snoqualmie, held a wonderful fundraising event.

The event raised money to pay for our lawyer, David Bricklin, who is ensuring that the annexation be done legally and use of the land is consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan. Besides raising money in entry fees and during our raffle and silent auction, we enjoyed the music of JackAcid, Vicious Edna and the Rose Family.

What we discovered was that this event was really so much more than a fundraiser. We got to meet neighbors, make new friends and spread the word. Many people put in so much time to make this event possible I cannot thank them all here, but it was wonderful to see a bunch of folks armed with nothing more than determination pull off an event like this. To all, thank you so much for your time and effort, donated items, auction purchases and concern for our quality of life.

The proceeds will ensure that issues of noise, flooding and pollution caused by the annexation are properly addressed by the city.
