How do you connect with the Snoqualmie River?

The Snoqualmie Tribe is studying the river ecology and landscape processes in the Upper Snoqualmie Corridor. They will develop a plan to share how conditions are expected to change in a warming climate.

This is a fantastic opportunity for the Community to connect during the COVID pandemic. The Tribe wants to hear your thoughts and feelings regarding the Snoqualmie River, changes, and a resilient future.

Your survey responses will be incorporated and shared in the Resilient Corridor Plan that will result from this project. The plan will:

• Assess the current state of river ecology and landscape processes in the project area, and how these processes affect water quality, water quantity, floodplain function, and in-stream aquatic habitat
• Assess how the conditions and processes are expected to change in a warming climate
• Gather stories and values regarding the Upper Snoqualmie River corridor that are central to the Tribal community’s relationship with the river, as well as how they feel about changes
• Gather input about values and feelings about the changes from the larger local community
• Foster knowledge-sharing across the community to support a richer cultural relationship with the Snoqualmie River and to promote a sense of common stewardship.

Their survey is now live on the tribal website, and they invite your thoughts and creative responses through storytelling, art submissions, photos, videos, and more!
