The City of Snoqualmie is planning to build the first phase of a YMCA-operated community center using funds currently available. Since the conception of the Snoqualmie Ridge master-planned community, there have been plans for constructing a Snoqualmie Community Center. It would be located in Snoqualmie Community Park, 35016 SE Ridge Street, next to Cascade View Elementary School. The building will be located in the open area next to the tennis courts. The property at this location was provided by the developers for this purpose.
For this project, the city will work with a private developer to design and build the first of a three-phased master-planned YMCA community center. The current plan does not rely on any voted bond or voted operating levy because it is based on a phased approach beginning with a smaller core facility, and also because the YMCA will be responsible for operations and maintenance.
Aside from the potential benefits that may result from a YMCA community center, there are requirements in place for development of a community center that the City of Snoqualmie has an obligation to meet. For more information about the requirement and the history behind it, please read the Frequently Asked Questions document linked to below.
Following is current planning information and reference documents.
