Fire districts pitch new authority to voters By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@snovalleystar.com Seeking voter approval of what amounts to the formation of a new fire authority, King County Fire Districts 10 and 38 recently held two public meetings, one on April 13 and the other on April 14. The first was called in May Valley. “No one showed up,” said Mike
Mitchell, fire authority planning chair and member of the board of commissioners for District 10. He wasn’t sure whether that was a good sign or not. District officials had more luck the following night in North Bend. “They had some good questions and we had a good conversation,” Mitchell said of the group who turned out. Mitchell said maybe it was appro-
priate for more people to show at the North Bend meeting. If voters approve the merger, North Bend property owners will begin paying a fire benefit charge for the first time. Residents in May Valley have been paying those fees for a while. Fire District 10 serves Carnation and the unincorporated areas of See MERGER, Page 3

The Snoqualmie Valley School District announced the hiring of three new principals (from left) Michelle Trifunovic (Chief Kanim Middle School), Ryan Hill (Opstad Elementary School) and Stephanie Shepherd (North Bend Elementary).
The Snoqualmie Valley School District announced the hiring of three new principals at its April 14 board meeting. Michelle Trifunovic (Chief Kanim Middle School), Ryan Hill (Opstad Elementary School) and Stephanie Shepherd (North Bend Elementary) will lead their respective schools starting next school year. “Michelle, Ryan, and Stephanie distinguished themselves as impressive candidates and have emerged from a very competitive process to secure these posi-
tions,” Superintendent Joel Aune said. Hill and Shepherd are no strangers to the district. Shepherd currently serves as an assistant principal at North Bend Elementary, splitting her time between North Bend and Snoqualmie elementary schools, while Hill is Opstad’s assistant principal and the district’s instructional technology coordinator. Trifunovic comes from the Issaquah School District administration, where she serves as the executive director of middle schools.
Riverwalk expansion Hikers causing a parking hazard enters design phase for Mount Si Road residents By Dylan Chaffin dchaffin@snovalleystar.com The City of Snoqualmie is embarking on the design phase of a project that will likely take decades to finish, a city planner says. The Riverview Park expansion will eventually connect existing trails, create a scenic viewpoint and provide more amenities to recreationalists,
according to council documents. It’ll also include the acquisition and demolition of two riverfront properties on Southeast Park Street. The first appraisal for one of the riverfront homes was done in 2011, and the grants for acquiring the properties were written in 2014, said city See EXPANSION, Page 2
By Dylan Chaffin dchaffin@snovalleystar.com It’s no surprise the Mount Si area is a popular hiking destination, but for North Bend residents, safety has become an issue. According to Wendy Spear, a lifelong resident of 55 years who lives on Mount Si Road, the hikers who park their cars on the
narrow thoroughfare cause dangerous driving conditions by parking on the roadway, straddling ditches and blocking driveways and intersections. One of her recent encounters involved a group of eight hikers who were walking down the middle of the road on a blind corner, Spear said in an email. “I thought to myself as I

could carry into 2018. The first phase could take upwards of seven years to complete. Secondary phases involving the south bank of the Snoqualmie River are likely to take eight years, while easements and dirt trails could take another 10 years, Sanders said. It could be longer or shorter depending on other factors, such as soil quality, where wetlands are discovered and whether or not homeowners decide to

sell their properties, she added. If homeowners choose not to sell, the city might have to obtain easements or route elsewhere. The Snoqualmie tribe also issued a statement voicing concern over the development in an email. “The Snoqualmie Indian tribe values an open and constructive dialogue with the City of Snoqualmie on the Riverwalk project and all matters of mutual importance,” it said.
is coming, they will be hit,’ and sure enough, a car came at that time and swerved into my lane,” she wrote. To avoid the collision, Spear was forced off the road and into a ditch, while the other driver continued. She was able to get out of the ditch on her own, she said. She let the hikers know that walking that way was dangerous, and they agreed to walk in a single-file line to the trailhead. The state Department of Natural Resources is in the process of siting a new location to design a new trailhead that will provide access to the Mount Teneriffe Trail. The new trail will include access to a summit viewpoint and access to Teneriffe Falls. King County Road Services is also looking for solutions, one of which is the proposed Teneriffe trail parking lot to help with overflow. The county is also conducting studies to determine
whether or not the area warrants “no parking” signs, but will not have the results until early May. Until then, they urge residents to report unsafe parking to the King County Sheriff’s Office. But to Spear those solutions may not be enough. She’s urging the King County Council to consider other solutions, including opening up parking at Tanner Landing Park, placing “no parking anytime” signs and ticketing hikers that park illegally, or offering a shuttle service. Several other residents have come forward in an online discussion, where many noted that there has been an influx of hikers this year and described the inherent dangers of the blind curve on Mount Si Road near Southeast 130th Street. In September, a North Bend man crossed the center line in his car and collided with a school bus, resulting in serious injuries including multiple broken bones. “It’s just a matter of time before someone is seriously hurt,” Spear said.

Snoqualmie eyes transporting inmates to Yakima The City of Snoqualmie will consider a contract with Yakima County to export their long-stay inmates, according to the agenda for the April 25 council meeting. Snoqualmie currently rents out about five to seven beds each month at the jail in Issaquah, Snoqualmie Police Captain Nick Almquist said, and the city will retain that space for inmates who have shorter jail times, said. “If they’re only committed for five days or so, we won’t go through the hassle of sending them to Eastern Washington,” he said. But for inmates who are serving 30 to 90 days, or even longer, the county will be responsible for transporting the inmates to larger jails, where it’s less expensive to the city. Under the contract, the daily rate per inmate in Yakima ranges from $48.75 to $54.75, depend-
ing on population. In comparison, the Issaquah jail has a bed rate per prisoner of $140 per night.
Local schools win state achievement awards for 2015 Four Snoqualmie Valley schools won Washington Achievement Awards for 2015.

Police name honorary chief The Snoqualmie Police Department has named 7-year-old Zach Cezar as the honorary chief of Snoqualmie Valley for the statewide “Chief for a Day” event Aug. 18. Prior to the event, a special ceremony will be held at the July 11 City Council meeting at Snoqualmie City Hall, 38624 SE River St. The event recognizes the lives of children who have been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. Cezar was diagnosed with optic pathway glioma, which is often treated with surgery, chemotherapy radiation or alternative medicines. If untreated, it can cause vision to worsen or blindness. Cezar will be presented with a hand-tailored uni-
form, police badge and a gift basket for the family. The children will be sworn in as chiefs, have lunch with attendees and academy recruiters, and participate in an outdoor presentation that will include SWAT, motorcycle units, Department of Fish and Wildlife, K-9 units, rifle units and more. The police department is also hosting a fundraiser with a goal of $5,000 to help Cezar’s family with their expensive medical bills. Donations can be made at the police station, 34825 SE Douglas St., Snoqualmie, in the form of cash, check, or gift cards. The wish list for Zach and his brother includes: basketball hoop, basketball, a PlayStation basketball game, stuffed animals, LEGOs, Star Wars toys, basketball shoes, football, basketball or hockey cards, two Seattle Sounders new alternate jersey, Seattle Seahawk Jersey – Kam Chancellor, Lamborghini toy, football books, floor hockey sticks and Simpsons LEGOs.

Merger From Page 1 May Valley, Tiger Mountain, Mirrormont and Preston. Fire District 38 serves the unincorporated areas around North Bend and Snoqualmie. Costs continue to increase for the fire districts and revenue is unstable due to changing property values, according to information provided by the fire districts. The new authority would receive most of its funding from a levy collecting $1 for every $1,000 in property valuation. As already noted, Fire District 38 residents would join District 10 in paying a fire service charge. The cost is based on the size of any building on your property. The bigger the building, the higher the charge, because it takes more time and money to put out a fire on a large
structure as compared to a smaller one. Every property owner has the right to appeal his or her assessment. Voters are asked to reapprove fire charges every six years. District 10 voters last approved the benefit charge with 79 percent of voters in favor. The benefit charge would equal about $0.49 per $1,000 of assessed property valuation, according to the fire districts. This means that property owners in Fire District 10 will see a tax decrease in the amount they pay for fire service starting in 2017. Property owners in Fire District 38 will see an average increase of $0.20 per $1,000 in valuation. That equals an increase of $68.20 per year for a home valued at the area average of $341,000. The fire merger will need a supermajority of 60 percent of the vote across the entire area in order to pass, Mitchell said.

From the General Manager
Thank you, subscribers For the past three months, we’ve been working hard to transform our news organization to better serve the readers of our Snoqualmie and North Bend. It started with taking Charles a hard look at our cover- Horton age and structuring our news team in order to best provide the news that is important to our readers. We’ve also worked diligently to become timelier in our reporting, publishing daily to our websites and posting breaking news throughout the day. We redesigned our website to make it easier to navigate and view on mobile devices, allowing our community to access our reporting wherever they are. And while we continue to invest in our interactive abilities, the print version of the SnoValley Star remains an
important part of how we inform the communities we serve.

We’ll continue to expand our efforts in improving the print edition throughout the year. We believe that a robust and healthy local media organization is a vital component of a well-rounded community. As the only locally owned media company in Snoqualmie and North Bend, we take our responsibility to inform and inspire residents of the Valley very seriously. We know that informed citizens make better choices about the future of their community.

Valley View: Don’t forget the basics, anglers We’re a week away from the start of trout season, and for anglers, both serious and not, it’s the biggest day of the year. If you’re a Snoqualmie Valley resident, you’ll likely want to visit Duvall or Fall City, where access roads lead to ponds stocked with fish for the six-month season. The Valley is known for being home to chum and coho salmon, summer-run and winter-run steelhead, and cutthroat and rainbow trout. April 23 also marks the start of the state Department of Fish and Wildlife’s first lowland fishing derby, which will run through Sept. 6. More than 700-tagged fish have been stocked in ponds
around the state, and hooking one can earn you prizes redeemable at any fishing license dealer. Dylan Fish hatch- Chaffin ery crews have stocked more than 16.5 million trout and kokanee, a form of sockeye salmon, in lakes statewide. About 2.2 million of those fish are now just the right size for catching, and more than 160,000 trout are averaging about one pound per fish. But before you head out on opening day, the WDFW wants to remind anglers that
they should have an annual freshwater or combination fishing license that’s valid through next March. Some things to remember: For residents age 16 and older, an annual freshwater license costs $29. A combination license costs $55. A temporary combination fishing license costs between $11-$20 for up to three days. Licenses can be purchased online at fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov, by phone at 1-866-246-9453 or at any fishing license dealer. Anglers parking at WDFW access sites are also required to display the WDFW vehicle access pass that comes free with every license purchased. The pass is transferrable
between up to two vehicles. Details on water access locations can be found at wdfw. wa.gov/lands/water_access. Anglers who are using Washington State Parks or Department of Natural Resource areas will need a Discover Pass, which can be found here: discoverpass. wa.gov. Annual Discover Passes cost $35. A one-day pass is $11. Anglers fishing for sturgeon, steelhead, salmon, halibut and Puget Sound Dungeness crab are required to also have a catch record card, which comes free with a license. To view other regulations, go to wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/ regulations.

Governor honors Snoqualmie’s solar initiatives Gov. Jay Inslee recognized the City of Snoqualmie, along with Bellingham and Mountlake Terrace, as a community leader in solar-powered initiatives. Local governments in Washington delivered
a 60 percent increase in solar generation in 2015, emphasizing clean technology as one of the seven key areas for action outlined in the governor’s plan to reduce carbon emissions statewide. Snoqualmie Mayor Matt Larson said that in the past year, the city has signed 42 solar contracts across the
Snoqualmie Valley. “If cities step up to make information and permits accessible, and provide supportive solarize programs, elected officials will be amazed at their local solar growth,” Larson said in the press release. “If we can do it, we think any city can do it,” he added.
