Constructed as
the State Bank of Snoqualmie in 1923, the Snoqualmie
City Hall is located in the center of the town's
Historic Commercial District. The one and one half
story, unreinforced, bearing brick masonry building had
been altered only slightly since its construction, with
the removal of the banking counters and the infill of
the mezzanine railing in the 1940s. The structure
retains its original large wood double-hung windows, and
decorative exterior brickwork.
The building was left vacant due to damage suffered in
the February 2001 Nisqually Earthquake. BOLA
Architecture + Planning provided a condition assessment
and design to restore the building's exterior, provide
seismic, mechanical and electrical improvements, and
modify the interior to recapture its original spatial
and architectural character. Following the
rehabilitation, the City's Planning Department moved
into the building. In the future, the space may become a
community activity facility for events, celebrations,
and public and private meetings and functions. A small
addition on the back of the building will be replaced in
the future by a more visually compatible structure.
