New community park master planning – coming in 2025
In the Spring of 2025, Si View will launch a master planning effort for an open space property donated to the District by Snoqualmie Valley Riding Club.
This seven acre parcel on the southside of I-90 near exit 31 in North Bend will become a future community park in an area of the park District
that lacks public access to developed park spaces. This site was previously used for equestrian activities and events and houses an outdoor riding
arena and a clubhouse. As condition of the donation agreement, this site will continue to be community-focused, providing a space for recreation
and educational programs, and serve as a multipurpose facility for the local community.
Si View Administration Building – under construction
Si View Metro Parks, a local government agency providing parks and recreation services in Snoqualmie Valley,
is developing an administrative building on portion of a 4-acre parcel located east of Si View Park between SE
Orchard Drive and Cedar Falls Way. This site was acquired by the Park District in 2021 and is sized to accommodate
a future community indoor pool, an administration building and parking. The site's proximity to Si View Community
Center and Park creates a reduction in operational expenses and synergy in programming, while extending the park-like
setting from Orchard Drive to Cedar Falls Way. The site would likely have been commercially developed had it
not been acquired by the park district.
Crews have begun clearing and grading the project site in preparation for the construction of an administration building. Construction access to the project site will be located off Cedar Falls Way. This portion of the project is not expected to interfere with traffic. The Administration Office is anticipated to be complete by October 2025.
Si View Metro Park's role as the community's public parks and recreation services provider has grown over the past two decades. The increase has amplified the need for more office space that can house all full-time staff while also providing public meeting space. The new single story office space replaces the current office in the caretaker's cottage next to Si View Community Center, a space much too small to house Si View full-time staff. Once offices have moved, the caretaker's cottage will be renovated to provide space for additional community recreation programming and activities.

North Bend Connector Trail – in design
Washington State DNR, in partnership with Si View Metropolitan Park District and Evergreen Mountain
Bike Alliance, is improving the local trail system with a 5.65 mile pedestrian and mountain biking
trail, linking Tennant Trailhead Park in the City of North Bend to Snoqualmie Point Park, Raging
River State Forest and Rattlesnake Mountain Scenic Area. This project is designed to provide a
high-quality user experience with a natural surface trail that accommodates two-way use by both
mountain bikers and hikers. This project has received funding support from King County Parks Levy
Capital and Open Space Program grant, and the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program State Lands
Development grant. This project is currently in design, with construction planned for 2024-2026.
Si View Park North Entrance – Construction in 2025
We are working to improve connectivity, aesthetics and pedestrian safety between Si View Park and William Henry Taylor Park by realigning the North entrance area of Si View Park. Removing the old "King County shed" and constructing a new maintenance building on the opposite side of the entrance will provide much needed space for District equipment to maintain the growing parks inventory and enhance the overall visitor experience when entering the park. This project is funded through the 2018 Capital Bond and our Capital Projects Fund with initial work launching in late 2021 and maintenance building construction in 2024. Temporary closures of the North entrance may be necessary during construction.
Edgewick Trail Connection – In Design
This non-motorized trail creates a connection from the Edgewick neighborhood near North Bend to the regional Snoqualmie Valley Trail near Rattlesnake Lake. The 0.3 mile forested trail improves recreation access for local residents. The District acquired this parcel for open space preservation with funding from the 2018 capital bond and the Conservation Futures grant program (CFT). Project construction funding is supported by a grant from the King County Parks Capital and Open Space Grant program.
