In August of 1890 the Snoqualmie Depot was built. Now, 125 years later, Snoqualmie will be celebrating the historic building during Railroad Days.

“It’s arguably one of the biggest landmarks in the town,” Peggy Barchi, marketing and events manager at the Northwest Railway Museum, said. Not only is it a historic building, but the Snoqualmie station was one of the longest continually used depots in the state before its closure in 1975.

“They built the depot to encourage more tourism and just to have a nice depot,” she said.

The anniversary event will be 10:45 a.m., Sunday.

“We’re going to bring our more modern locomotive and our steam locomotive together,” Barchi said. “The two locomotives are going to back apart and show the depot.”

Re-enactors in period clothing will be on site and Mike Seal of Sigillo Cellars will present “CAB 125” a wine created for this event. Guests will then be invited for cake and lemonade.
