| "I suppose a more desirable body of land cannot be found in the Territory, possessing as it does all the advantages requisite for a flourishing farming district
with, I should think, ten thousand acres of first rate arable land, with quite a variety of timber, and water power sufficient for all milling purposes, besides an extensive range for stock of all kinds"
Samuel Hancock, 1851 - Earliest written description of the Snoqualmie Valley
Located in Western Washington, about 30 miles due east of Seattle, and just west of the Cascades, the Snoqualmie Valley still maintains its rural character and rich heritage of farming and logging dating back more than 150 years.
Ron Bailey has called the Snoqualmie Valley home for more than a decade, and it remains his home where he and his wife, Lisa, live and work together, raising their five children.
Though Ron has lived in other picturesque places and traveled throughout the world, the Snoqualmie Valley remains his favorite canvas and the subject of his signature work. |
