  • Sahalie Historical Note #7: the Snoqualmie Pass Ski Lodges
    Sahalie Historical Note #7: The Snoqualmie Pass Ski Lodges The history of club lodges at Snoqualmie Pass begins in 1914 and expands through the 1920s and 1930s, when enthusiasm for winter recreation first began to take off in the Northwest. The earliest general news article that describes the various accommodations at the Pass dates from 1933.1 It describes the Kendall Peak Lodge “built by a group of Seattleites” and the College Club’s lodge above Lake Keechelus, called either Mountain Goat Lodge or Roaring Creek Lodge; the article also notes a lodge run by the Helen Bush School for Girls. All have since disappeared, to my knowledge. (If you know differently, or can provide background, speak up.) Newspapers around 1940 also mention a Sno‐Owl Ski Club with a cabin at the Pass, but I can’t find anything more about it. Another good summary article of ski clubs in the area was published in late 1944.2 Enos Bradner noted that, “ Skiers who reside in the vicinity of Seattle have spread out before them as varied and as exciting a ski terrain in the Cascades and the Olympics as will be found anywhere in the United States….” The main anchors over the years at Snoqualmie Pass include the Mountaineers, Seattle Ski Club, Sahalie, Washington Alpine and, more recently, Berghaus. Here is a quick snapshot with some history for each. The Mountaineers. This venerable organization (founded in 1906) is the oldest club to have had a lodge in the Snoqualmie Pass area. The Mountaineers built its first lodge just west of the summit above Rockdale in 1914.

The Commission will consider adoption of land classifications and a long-term boundary for the portion of the Iron Horse State Park Trail extending from Lind east to the community of Malden including a long- term boundary that extends from Lind west to the Columbia River and the Beverly Bridge. SUPPORTING INFORMATION Appendix 1: Iron Horse State Park Trail Location and Trail Management Map Appendix 2: Descriptions of Land Classification, Conditional Uses, and Long-Term Boundary Appendix 3: Land Classification and Long-Term Boundary Map Appendix 4: Iron Horse State Park Trail Management Recommendations Appendix 5: Real Estate Plan Appendix 6: Capital Budget Request Appendix 7: Operating Budget Request SIGNIFICANT BACKGROUND INFORMATION Initial acquisition of Iron Horse State Park Trail by the State of Washington occurred in 1981. While supported by many, the sale of the former rail line was controversial for adjacent property owners, some of whom felt that the rail line should have reverted back to adjacent land owners. This concern, first expressed at initial purchase of the trail, continues to influence the planning process today.

  • Great American Outdoors Act Projects Mountains to Sound Greenway National Heritage Area
    Great American Outdoors Act projects Mountains to Sound Greenway National Heritage Area Mountains to Sound Greenway-Heritage Area Multi Asset Recreation Investment Corridor The Mountains to Sound Greenway National Heritage Area is an iconic 1.5 million-acre landscape in Washington State, stretching across the Cascade Mountains from Central Washington to Puget Sound in Seattle. The Greenway promotes a healthy and sustainable relationship between people and nature by providing nearby parks and trails, connected wildlife habitat, places for culture and tradition, world-class outdoor recreation and education, working forests and local agricultural production, and thriving communities. The Greenway is valued by a broad cross-section of society, working together as an effective coalition to conserve this place and its heritage for future generations. When Congress passed the Great American Outdoors Act in 2020, we knew how important this legislation would be to the state of Washington. For 30 years the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust has witnessed the positive impact access to nature brings to the region for public health, habitat and wildlife, and local economies. Many public agencies, nonprofit organizations, and individuals have worked tirelessly to sustain this abundant access to nature, with outdoor recreation gaining popularity each year. As public agency budgets and staff simultaneously shrink, the backlog of much-needed maintenance for trails and recreation areas has grown dramatically. The Great American Outdoors Act offers part of the solution to this maintenance backlog for public land management agencies, and will benefit all people who live, work and play in the Mountains to Sound Greenway and in public lands across the country.
