Our Work in the Snoqualmie River Valley

The beautiful, forested mountains; clean air and water; local food; and recreation in the Snoqualmie River Valley are enjoyed by many. However, this love and appreciation does not protect them from the many pressures they currently face and will continue to face in the future. Local and tribal governments, non-profits, and community groups work hard to ensure a future that is sustainable for the environment, the economy, and the people who live, work, and visit the Snoqualmie River Valley. 

Our work at the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust aims to prioritize and support conservation of natural lands and open spaces that have direct connections to communities and historic sites in the Snoqualmie River Valley. We are also part of developing a vision and building a community-connected network of trails, transit, and experiences that enhance access to the Valley’s open spaces. Our efforts in the Valley are partnership-focused, and involve coalition management, region-wide visioning, and collaborative problem-solving.
