Over the last several years, the city has acquired a number of riverfront properties, some through flood buyouts and grants.

The pre-annexation agreement for the Snoqualmie mill site property includes a requirement that Weyerhaeuser provide the city property for a riverfront trail alignment on the north side of river, to allow for planning and future construction of a riverwalk trail loop.

The Snoqualmie City Council meets at 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 13.
