Snoqualmie City Council Approves Jail Services and Welcomes New Officer [ID:c3ddff]

Snoqualmie, WALocal News

The Snoqualmie City Council convened on March 24, 2025, to discuss several critical public safety initiatives. Among the highlights was the approval of an interlocal agreement with Yakima County for jail services, aimed at reducing costs for the city. New police officer Dylan Losfar took the oath of office, with Interim Chief Gary Horace commending his military experience. A public hearing regarding amendments to utility rates for the next five years was held, but no residents attended to voice their opinions. The council voted unanimously to approve the jail services agreement, which establishes a daily fee significantly lower than those charged by neighboring cities.

Additionally, Mayor Katherine Ross announced the start of fare enforcement for Metro Bus services on March 31, following a two-month educational period. The council will also work on a strategic plan with Burke Consulting to guide the city's future initiatives. Key decisions made during the meeting reflect the council's commitment to public safety and effective governance in Snoqualmie.
