Surrounded by community on the bank of the South Fork of the Snoqualmie River, Mayor Miller proclaimed Friday, November 14, 2025, as Arbor Day in North Bend. She thanked the community for joining this special celebration, and the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust (MTSG) for their coordination.
“Given the great forest lands that surround North Bend and the trees that line our streets and beautify our parks, trees form an important aspect of the city’s character and identity,” said Mayor Miller.
MTSG staff guided participants in a riparian habitat restoration event, where they planted a variety of native plants and trees along the South Fork of the Snoqualmie River. Principal Planner Mike McCarty shared information about the city’s work with the MTSG and the value of planting native species in our parks and in our gardens.
