Since the formation of the District in 2003, our mission has been focused on partnering with the community to preserve historic Si View Park and the aging facilities within. Through hard work and dedication we have made great strides in improving the quality of life for residents by investing in infrastructure. These improvements enhance recreation programs and parks in the Upper Snoqualmie Valley and ensures facilities will be here for future generations.
