The Forest and our Mission
When many people think of the Forest Theater, they think only of the Outdoor Theater in the summer. But the Snoqualmie Falls Forest Theater is so much more!
Our property consists of approximately 95 acres of land that is divided between designated forestland and cultural lands for performing arts. The Snoqualmie Falls Forest Theater's mission is to provide training and experience in creative and performing arts in the Northwest, to provide conservation and controlled development of the Snoqualmie Falls area for public enjoyment, and to provide recreational facilities for members' use and enjoyment.
What you will see on the property
The property is bordered on North and East by almost one third of a mile of Snoqualmie River shoreline. There are numerous wetlands and steep slopes. There is one type 4 stream, O Creek, that transects the property from the South to the North with numerous abandoned beaver ponds that have become swampy areas.
Much of the area of the property adjacent to the Snoqualmie River is in the View Shed of Snoqualmie Falls. The southern boundary of the property is adjacent to the Preston-Snoqualmie Trail that terminates in an overlook of Snoqualmie Falls.
Preserve the Forest
Our park is home to wildlife including deer, bear, and many species of birds. Abundant blooms of native flowers in the spring and several varieties of mushrooms in the fall provide many of the reasons we think preserving this corner of Snoqualmie Valley is so important. We recently completed restoration of O creek, which added nearly 0.8 mile of salmon habitat to the Snoqualmie River.
Some of our projects include the development of a Forest Stewardship Plan, with assistance from the Washington State University Cooperative Extension. We've been busy reforesting areas of the property that have been logged over the years.
Catch the excitement! Your membership and volunteer time will help us preserve this property for our use and for future generations.
