Starting Monday, May 19, 2025, the City of Snoqualmie will begin collecting community feedback through the National Community Survey (NCS). The results will help inform the City’s first-ever strategic plan by identifying resident priorities, evaluating services, and setting long-term goals based on public input.
This resident survey will gather government service feedback and measure the community’s quality of life. The City will use the survey data to develop an upcoming strategic plan, allowing more people to participate in shaping that plan and Snoqualmie’s future.
Randomly selected households will receive mailed survey invitations over the next few weeks. Households receiving an invitation are asked to complete the survey and follow the enclosed instructions. In mid-June, the survey will open to the entire community, and all residents can share their input.
“We are excited to receive more input from the community to guide our first-ever strategic plan and gauge the services we provide,” said Mayor Katherine Ross. “The survey gives residents an opportunity to tell us how they think we’re performing, which will allow us to measure our impact going forward.”
The National Research Center at Polco developed the National Community Survey. The survey captures opinions on the economy, mobility, community design, utilities, safety, natural environment, inclusivity, engagement, and other elements of Snoqualmie’s overall livability. The results will show Snoqualmie’s strengths, areas of improvement, and what matters most to residents. The city will also see how its performance compares to other communities nationwide.
“We strongly encourage all residents to take the survey. The more people who participate, the better data we have to inform our plan and measure city services,” said Communications Coordinator Danna McCall. “This is an opportunity for everyone in the community to share their thoughts and shape the future of Snoqualmie.”
For more information on this process, contact the Communications Division at 425-888-8014 or email dmccall@snoqulamiewa.gov. The survey closes on June 30, 2025.

I wish this level of community would have been implemented 6-7 years ago. As LGBTQ, and living there for 25 years, it never felt unsafe but also never felt welcoming. Additionally, when we bought our first home there in 2003 it was a small community, surrounded by mountains and trees. We sold last year at the end of May because Snoqualmie became Redmond. I miss living in the area of what it used to be (We used to swim at Thousand Trails), but I have ZERO regrets of getting away from its current infrastructure!
