Daylight savings ends on Sunday November 5, and it will be time to turn clocks back by an hour. For many families this "extra" hour is a welcome addition to the weekend. If you haven't already done so, this would be a good time to fill out your ballot, with the election day just ahead. Ballots are due by 8PM on Tuesday November 7. Si View's Proposition 1, a capital bond measure to replace the aging Si View Pool in North Bend, is on the ballot. The proposal requires a 60% super-majority to pass. Remember to vote!

We are nearing the registration period for Winter activities. Our seasonal activity guide will be delivered to local homes the first week of December. Registration for all land-based activities opens on December 8 and for aquatic programs on December 15. With a variety of fun and engaging activities to choose from, you can easily fill up the winter months with Si View programs. Sprinkle in some refreshing outdoor time for strolling through our local parks (in weather appropriate gear) and you'll be set for a healthy start for the new season.

See you at local parks!

Si View welcomes all Snoqualmie Valley area residents to participate in our programs. Residents living within the boundaries of the Park District directly support the operations of recreation programs and services through property taxes. All District programs follow a two-tiered resident/non-resident fee structure that provides equitable contribution towards operations by all patrons.

For Si View Pool’s aquatic programs, the demand is greater than our ability to offer services. To ensure that District residents have access to aquatic programming, Si View’s registration policy for aquatic programs has recently been updated to provide a priority registration period for District residents for open enrollment sessions. The Si View Parks Commission adopted this policy update last month. The change will go in effect for the first 2024 open enrollment session. Registration for session A opens December 15, 2023. This change applies to all registration-based aquatic programs including group and private swim lessons, swim team and water safety courses. Drop-in activities are not affected. Visit our website for more information about this change, and steps residents must take to access priority registration. 

Each year, Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust recognizes and celebrates collaborative recreation projects around the region for land conservation, ecological restoration, and recreation. This year, the Tennant Trailhead Park project has been recognized in the Parade of Accomplishments as an example of successful multi-agency collaboration. The Tennant Trailhead Park project site on the flank of Rattlesnake Mountain was conserved with the help of Trust for Public Land. Working alongside the original stewards of the area, the Snoqualmie Tribe, the 32-acre site has been developed into a park with beginner friendly mountain biking and hiking trails by Si View Metro Parks, City of North Bend, King County Parks, and Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance. Trail names in this park will be in Lushootseed language, and with artful displays and tips for respectful recreation practices. In the future, this park will link to the Raging River trail system. We look forward to celebrating the opening of Tennant Trailhead Park in Spring of 2024 with project partners and our community!

This month we are offering a new community event - an adult prom night on November 18. This event is a result of repeated community requests for a time when adults can mingle and meet new neighbors in a festive setting. Our event partner, Volition Brewing Co., is offering ticket holders who visit the brewery on the day of event, a discount on Volition Beer (must show ticket for discount). The featured food truck on November 18th is Impeckable Chicken. We hope that many of you will join the fun and meet new friends! This is a semi-formal event, with a DJ and a photo-booth, bring your dancing shoes. Ticket sales end November 12.

The Si View Holiday Bazaar, now in its 20th year at the Community Center, happens on Saturday December 2nd. This tradition is sure to bring some holiday cheer with unique handcrafted gifts, seasonal entertainment and lovely raffle baskets.

We'd like to extend a big Thank You to the many community partners, sponsors and volunteers who helped make the October Harvest Festival possible. Over 300 children with their families participated in the festivities, and as the pictures show, a great time was had by all. Thank you!
