Snoqualmie Launches Free Downtown Wi-Fi Through October 2026 as Summer Tourism Builds

3 articles · Updated · KOMO News · Jun 4

Summary

  • Snoqualmie this week switched on the "Sno-Fi Pilot" free public Wi-Fi network across several blocks of its historic downtown ahead of the summer visitor surge.
  • Coverage runs from Southeast King Street to Southeast River Street along Railroad Avenue Southeast and Falls Avenue Southeast, targeting the core business district where officials say cellular service has gaps.
  • The city said the network is meant to help tourists, residents and downtown businesses stay connected and support local commerce during the peak travel season.
  • The pilot will run through October 2026, after which Snoqualmie will review performance and funding before deciding whether to keep or expand it.
  • Because Sno-Fi is an open public network, officials warned users not to transmit sensitive information such as passwords or banking details while connected.
