FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS







1993 FWOC RESOLUTION #13
_PRESERVATION OF SNOQUALMIE FALLS_

The Snoqualmie Valley, in Washington State, has long been sacred to the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe.  It is not obtrusive and is currently listed as a National Historic Structure.  Now, both the Weyerhaueser Company and the Puget Power Company have massive development plans for Snoqualmie Falls.  To begin with, Puget Power wants to expand the dam and power plant to increase production of electric power from 42 megawatts up to 74 megawatts.  This would cut water flow at night to a trickle.
The proposed expansion of the dam and power plant is being opposed by the Snoqualmie Indians, by church groups and by environmental organizations.  Snoqualmie Falls is an outstanding scenic attraction and those opposing further development want to keep it in as natural a state as possible.
The Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs supports the Snoqualmie Tribe and the organizations working on the Snoqualmie Falls Preservation Project in their efforts to prevent further development at the Falls and urges member clubs in Washington State to participate in this effort.
