New Threats to Snoqualmie Falls, WA
Posted by: Toby McLeod

The Snoqualmie are being broadsided by a triple threat to their Falls. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has approved a 40-year renewal to Puget Sound Energy’s lease to drain water from the Falls; the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is blasting at the rock around the Falls as part of a flood control project; and the City of Snoqualmie recently approved an expansion of the nearby Salish Lodge. The tribe and the Snoqualmie Falls Preservation Project are now developing a strategy to react to these attacks. Initially, they are asking for letters of support sent to the tribe’s office. See our page on Snoqualmie Falls for more information and the address.
