Open House to discuss Annexation

A number of citizens are currently in the process of circulating petitions that ask the City to annex a portion of the City's Urban Growth Area. This area is slightly larger than 1.25 square miles and is known as the Tanner Annexation. The geographical boundaries are quite similar to those of the recent Utility Local Improvement District (ULID). For those interested in this topic, there will be an open house on February 10th at 7 p.m. at the Council Chambers in the Senior Center. For more information before that meeting there is Frequently Asked Questions report available on the City's website at www.ci.north-bend.wa.us .

One more weekend for Flood Debris

The City of Snoqualmie will be conducting a storm debris disposal operation at their King St. lot on Saturday and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m.
There is no charge but the collection bins are limited to storm debris only.

Boalch Avenue Bridge Closure

Repairs by King County and re-opening of the Boalch Ave NW Bridge at Gardiner Creek, just north of NW 14th Street has been delayed due to King County road crews being reassigned to respond to recent flood damage. The new anticipated completion date is mid-March.

The initial closure in November was a result of the King County Department of Transportation finding that the bridge at that location is in a failing condition.

The City recommends the use of SR 202 between Snoqualmie and North Bend as the alternate route. For more information contact the North Bend Public Works Department at 425-888-0486.

Flood Debris

While the City collection stations have closed, citizens can still get rid of their flood debris from the early January storm at no charge. Follow this link to the King County Solid Waste information site:
