All around us, back to school promotions and Fall decorating ideas are popping up. But here at Si View, we are still in the midst of having summer fun with the community! From our weekly Farmers Market to the annual Movie in the Park or the Festival at Mt Si, there are options for everyone.

In many ways, we are gearing up for Fall (and beyond) as well. Registration for Fall activities opens next week on August 11th, from the very popular youth recreation basketball leagues to swim lessons, among many other options. We also have openings in our before & after school care program, with care sites at the Community Center and North Bend Elementary School. Other exciting seasonal events include the Harvest Festival and the Holiday Bazaar.

Enjoy this tail end of the summer season and see you at local parks!

We recently announced that Si View District residents will consider Proposition 1, a $21.3M capital bond measure, in the November general election, to fund the development of a new community pool in North Bend. Project related materials are now available on the Si View website. We encourage you to review information, share with neighbors, and contact us with any questions by email or call (425) 831-1900.

A new facility will preserve and improve public access to aquatic programs, expand capacity and address the gap in aquatic services for the growing population in Snoqualmie Valley. 

Registration season is here! It's now time to pull out Fall calendars and sign up for swim lessons, basketball, after school activities and many more recreational programs.

Activity guides arrive in local mailboxes this week, and you can also view our offerings online. Fall registration opens Friday August 11th, including an open enrollment period for swim lessons. You can sign up online, calling us at (425) 831-900 or visiting us at the Community Center/Pool.

We have some exciting new programs in the mix, such as guided goat walks at Tollgate Farm, bike maintenance workshops, new Sensory Play parent & child class, rescheduled Adult Prom, and many more. Happy Fall season planning!

We are getting ready to construct the parking area and restrooms! A contract for this work has been approved and work will begin in later this month. Please note that the trails, even if finished, are closed, until construction of the parking area is complete. We appreciate your patience and using other local trails system until this new park is ready. We look forward to an opening of the new Tennant Trailhead Park later this year!

Everyone's favorite, local summer festival is coming back to Si View Park on August 12-13. The Festival at Mount Si includes activities for all from a 5K Run and Parade to Chili Cook Off, Kids Zone, Fireworks, Live Music, lots of vendors, and more.

Stop by the Si View booth for the latest information on programs and parks. We are also hosting a youth hoop shoot contest for ages 6-18 at 1pm on Saturday, and a pickleball tournament for adults starting at 4pm on Saturday. The hoop shoot is free, and $25/team fee gets your team in the pool play for the pickleball tournament. Pre-registration is required for both.

Festival at Mount Si is organized by community volunteers. If you can spare a few hours over the weekend, your assistance would be most welcome. Check here for ways to get involved!
