Throughout 2024, we hope you’ve been informed, enlightened, inspired, entertained or educated by the Snoqualmie Valley Record’s coverage of the people, businesses, nonprofits and community groups that make our Valley so unique.

The Valley Record provides local fact-based reporting that offers public scrutiny and oversight. Coverage by our professional, experienced reporters and editors also need to be supported to ensure that we can provide valuable and unbiased journalism. The support of our loyal subscribers up and down the Valley continue the Record’s 112 year mission.
