2026 Community Survey

When it comes to a new public pool, what does the Snoqualmie Valley actually want?

It turns out that in our decade or more of talking about this, no one has actually asked the entire service area, North Bend AND Snoqualmie, the same questions all at once in a statistically valid survey.

We thought it was time someone did.

As a non-profit organization, Valley Pool Together is uniquely positioned to ask these questions across multiple jurisdictions in an independent, unbiased way.

We’re raising funds to hire a third party professional, one of the same ones used by cities and municipalities, to design and conduct a statistically valid survey that will finally ask everyone the questions that really matter: location, cost, affordability, features, and more. And we’re making the results available to everyone.

Have an idea you want to share about what should be asked on the survey? Let us know!

projects to build a more water-safe community.

  • Keeping everyone safe.

    88% of child drownings happen when at least one adult is present. That’s why it’s important whenever children are around the water to have a designated Water Watcher.

    Our Water Watcher Tag program empowers every adult to have that conversation about who is responsible, and hand that responsibility off effectively when it’s time.

    You can be a part of the solution by picking one up this spring at locations across the Valley.

  • Building water competency.

    Our Swim Lesson Survey shone a spotlight on the gaps in water safety in our community.

    We’re using that knowledge to build a library of PSAs for the local community to be highlighted on social media and shared in the pre-show ads at the North Bend Theatre.

    This spring, we’ll be partnering with students at Two Rivers School where they will be earning internship credits researching and designing more of these for their peers and fellow community members.

  • Water shapes us.

    In the Snoqualmie Valley, water connects us, provides some of our most memorable moments, and confronts us with our biggest challenges. 

    A professionally produced film series will feature 2-3 minute profiles of Snoqualmie Valley residents who have been profoundly impacted by water and asks: How does water shape who we are as a community?
