In your well done editorial about schools and bussing, you stated that “the Snoqualmie Valley has always been one big community, stretching from the outskirts of Fall City to Snoqualmie Pass.”

I think of the Snoqualmie Valley as stretching from Snoqualmie Pass to Monroe. Perhaps the Upper Snoqualmie Valley stretches from Snoqualmie Pass to Fall City. This whole Valley is a much bigger place.

This distinction is important, from land-use policy and issues to transportation, fish and rivers, tourism and other matters.
