<h1 style="text-align: center;">Snoqualmie, <em>Seattle</em></h1>
<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Century Gothic&quot;, serif;" face="Century Gothic, serif"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">Located next to Snoqualmie Falls in King County, Washington and in the center of Mountains to Sound Greenway is the city of Snoqualmie. Snoqualmie is the historic home-base of the Northwest Railway Museum and its sister-city, Snoqualmie Falls, was the birthplace of movie actress Ella Raines born on August 6, 1920. David Lynch&rsquo;s Twin Peaks television series and movie, Fire Walk With Me, had several exterior shots that were captured in Snoqualmie and in the nearby towns of North Bend and Fall City. Snoqualmie&rsquo;s name is connected to the Lushootseed name s&bull;duk&Ecirc;&middot;albix&Ecirc;&middot;, which when translated means &ldquo;ferocious people&rdquo;, a name that was given by a Coast Salishan tribe when referring to the Snoqualmie tribe.&nbsp;</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Century Gothic&quot;, serif;" face="Century Gothic, serif"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">Logging and Weyerhaeuser&rsquo;s milling operations were the backbones keeping the local economy in motion until recently. The company ran a smaller mill operation from 1989 until all operations at the Weyerhaeuser Mill site came to a halt in 2003. Dairies were substantial to the local industry early 1950&rsquo;s, but as time passed&mdash;the industry began to evolve and agriculture played less of prominent economic role in the community. &nbsp;In the 1970s, the city introduced the development of Interstate 90, making Snoqualmie more accessible to Seattle and the Eastside, bringing in a large population of people working in the communities to the West. The Snoqualmie Ridge Business Park presently employs close to one thousand people and includes major employers Space Labs, Motion Water Sports, Technical Glass, T-Mobile, and &nbsp;the King County Department of Permitting and Environmental Review.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Century Gothic&quot;, serif;" face="Century Gothic, serif"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">The city continues to expand and its scenic and recreational attractions are cultivating major growth in the local tourism industry. Along with being famous for the exquisite waterfalls of Snoqualmie Falls, the Salish Lodge and the Northwest Railways system are also prominent feats. Salish Lodge is positioned on top of Snoqualmie Falls and next to Puget Sound Energy&rsquo;s Snoqualmie Fall Park. The city&rsquo;s museum owns a historic workshop and runs a historic tourist railway in the city.</span></span></p>
