North Bend, WA - “Easy to Reach, Hard to Leave”
As with many of the early towns in the Pacific Northwest, North Bend was originally settled as a logging encampment. The natural resources in the area were well known to local native populations for thousands of years. When settlers first reached the area, they recognized the Snoqualmie Prairie as an invaluable resource for farming and grazing land.
One of the natural wonders of Washington State, just down the road from North Bend, is Snoqualmie Falls. A relic leftover from glacial melt off. These falls have been a destination for nature lovers since they were discovered. They have also been a destination for engineers. The first hydroelectric plant was built in the 1890’s by Charles Baker and is still in use by Puget Sound Energy today.
Originally known as Snoqualmie, the town was forced to change their name when their neighbors to the Southwest decided to adopt that name as their own. The local post office decided on North Bend because of the nearby Northern bend of the South fork of the Snoqualmie River. North Bend was officially incorporated on March 12, 1909.
