Finding a memory: Family explores Snoqualmie Valley Veteran’s Memorial

“I found my name!” says 10-year-old Lawrence Saenz, pointing to a brick in the Snoqualmie Valley Veterans Memorial. His sister, Elsa, 9, comes to look, but their younger brothers are still climbing on the rocks that ring the area, just to the side of the Renton-Pickering American Legion Post in Snoqualmie.

The brick was in memory of a man whose last name was Lawrence, pointed out his Mom, Corinne, but it was still an exciting discovery.

The Snoqualmie family visited the memorial, to honor the national holiday. Several people visited the site, honoring veterans throughout the Snoqualmie Valley, to pay their respects.
