The grand opening event for the Snoqualmie Community Center/Snoqualmie Valley YMCA scheduled for January 21 has been postponed due to severe weather. The artwork dedication is also cancelled. These events will be rescheduled.

Storm drains are becoming flooded with ice and debris causing significant pooling. Residents are urged to find their local storm drain and help with the flow by breaking down the ice and clearing debris. Snoqualmie Public Works crews are working on this issue, but need proactive resident and business owner assistance to reach all affected drains.
