On Wednesday, Sept. 2 at 7 p.m., the Snoqualmie Tribe group, Save Snoqualmie Falls Coalition will hold a rally against irresponsible development, specifically the construction of the Tokul Roundabout by the city of Snoqualmie. The date is also the sixth anniversary of Snoqualmie Falls’ placement on the National Register of Historic Places.
Supporters will gather at the upper parking lot at Snoqualmie Falls to speak about the bulldozing of ancient burial grounds and planned development of sacred land adjacent to Snoqualmie Falls.
In June, the city of Snoqualmie began earthwork for the planned Tokul Roundabout, tearing up land claimed to be sacred to the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe.
The discovery of a prehistoric projectile point, estimated to be between 4,500 and 9,000 years old, didn’t stop the construction.
The roundabout is expected to pave the way for further home and commercial development on nearby land. For more information, Save Snoqualmie Falls on Facebook, or send e-mail to savethefalls@snoqualmietribe.us.
