Block Party returns to Snoqualmie Ridge Saturday

The Snoqualmie Valley Block Party will mark its fifth year this Saturday. The festivities run from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 15 on Snoqualmie’s Center Boulevard, with more than 50 vendors, bounce houses, and a full lineup of music (see page 3 for schedule). PUP Dog Rescue will be on hand with furry friends available for adoption, too.

Families can enjoy face painting and other children’s activities and kids can tour a library van, school buses, police cars and fire engines.

The all-volunteer event was started by Jason Green from Snoqualmie Optimal Health Chiropractic. Also contributing are Jessica Self, Kristine Haak, Deb Barrientes and Kathy Gehrig.
