To recognize the work being done downtown, the city of Snoqualmie will host a milestone recognition ceremony on Saturday, Aug. 29, at Railroad Park.

The celebration begins at 1 p.m. at Railroad Park and in the surrounding streets, with a 32-foot climbing wall, bounce house, dual zip line, dunk tank, live music and raffle prizes.

At 1:30 p.m., regional leaders including Steve Gorcester, Washington Transportation Improvement Board, Paula Reeves, Washington Department of Transportation’s Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program, and Jack Peters, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, will speak at the ceremony.

The project is set to include road improvements, major underground infrastructure and utilities improvements, property restoration, as well as landscaping, lighting, benches, and reworked curbs and crosswalks. A boardwalk along the railroad tracks at the Snoqualmie Depot is also in the plans.

For the celebration, streets will be closed from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. King Street will be closed between Falls and Maple Avenues, and Falls Avenue will be closed from King to River.
