VRA commissions marketing study
Taking what Board President Jeff Spencer called “one of the final
steps in preparing for a Snoqualmie Valley pool and recreation center,” the
Valley Recreation Association (VRA) commissioned a marketing study
at their October meeting.
“We need to know if a pool and recreation center will produce
enough operational income from Valley residents, before we can actually start
raising the big bucks for construction,” Spencer said.
Hebert Research of Bellevue will carry out the research, which will
include interviewing 300 residents of the lower Snoqualmie Valley. “These
interviews will help us determine demand for the facility, including
what features it should include and where it should be located to create
maximum operational revenues,” Spencer explained.
“Our Board only wants to build a facility if it can support itself,”
Spencer said. “We want to create a community recreational center, but not
if it needs taxpayer support. There are existing governmental agencies
that could do that.”
The research should be completed by the end of December. Based
on the results, the VRA will know how to proceed with raising $4 to 8
million required to build the proposed facility.

pool project, contact them at PO Box 522, Carnation, WA 98014; or email

Sno-Valley Little League looks for board members.
The Snoqualmie Valley Little League, which serves the
communities of Snoqualmie and North Bend, is looking for board members to
take over several positions. Positions open for the upcoming season include
President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Fund-raising,
Concessions, Softball reps, Baseball reps, Umpire rep, Equipment managers, Field
managers, and a host of coaching and assistant positions.
“Without volunteers stepping forward its likely the 2000 season
won’t happen” says former President Jim McKiernan. “There are just too
many things to do in a short amount of time and the die-hard crew we have had is
moving up and out of Little League,” he added.
An elections/informational meeting will be held on Nov. 2, 7:30
p.m. at the North Bend Depot at which time a decision on the fate of the 2000
season will be made. All interested volunteers should plan on attending.
