Eastside Cities: North Bend

Nestled in the upper Snoqualmie River Valley, surrounded by rugged mountains and lush pastures is the small, rural town of North Bend. Its history is tied to this strategic location between Puget Sound and the Cascade Mountains. Early foot trails, wagon roads, railroads, and finally, highways brought travelers here, shaping North Bend's character and service-oriented economy.

Each year more and more people relocate to this lovely valley. North Bend is quickly becoming a suburban bedroom community where residents easily commute down I-90 into Bellevue and Seattle. As a result, this city is focusing on the preservation of remaining pastureland and open spaces, as well as economic prosperity and growth.

North Bend looks out on Mount Si, a 4,167-foot monolith whose steep 4-mile trail to the top is one of the most used in the state. The city's location makes it the perfect jumping-off point to Washington's wilderness areas and year round recreational fun. Rock climbers and white water paddlers, in particular, have made this area a destination. The city maintains eight public parks, including the historic Meadowbrook and Tollgate Farms both of which are over 400 acres in size. A factory outlet mall conveniently located along I-90 is a shopper's paradise. Each August, Festival at Mt. Si features food, music, arts & crafts, train rides, and other family fun.

Median Sold Prices 2007: Homes $429,950; Condos $242,000
