"We considered other Eastside neighborhoods, but the fresh mountain air is worth the 10-or-15-minute commute. I'm a runner and the trails and parks were a big draw."Kuni said Snoqualmie Ridge's location also is a plus. "My husband works on Mercer Island, a handy, scenic commute on I-90, and there's lots of handy shopping options, like the North Bend outlet mall."Most areas of Snoqualmie Ridge, on a hillside near downtown Snoqualmie, boast expansive views of the surrounding Cascade foothills. It's about a half-hour drive to Seattle to the west and to Snoqualmie Pass to the east, a major draw for buyers who are winter-sports enthusiasts.All residents are dues-paying members of Snoqualmie Ridge Residential Home Owners Association (ROA) that approves design plans, sets standards for upkeep, fence height and other "good neighbor" rules and coordinates community and neighborhood events.As a planned community, neighborhoods reflect design guidelines that encourage social interaction, "arranged for people rather than cars" according to the master plan, with sidewalks and trails that encourage nonmotorized transportation.Homes are all of traditional design; as part of a planned community, designs must be approved and the bylaws stipulate "historic Craftsman, cottage, bungalow, colonial and farmhouse styles, with differing roof forms, window design, surface materials ... utilized to achieve variety" within developments.Front porches and rear garages are encouraged. Nearly all homes are two stories and built close together, a juxtaposition of density contrasted with the surrounding green belts and mountain scenery.The proximity to I-90 and the Cascade foothills scenery make this a great place to live. The parks, trails and open spaces are a strong draw for most residents, too."Families with children make up a sizable percentage of homeowners, reflected in the aptly named Cascade View Elementary School, built in 2005, with a panoramic view of the surrounding foothills near Snoqualmie Ridge's small retail area.The Snoqualmie Community Center and pool, opened in early 2012, is part of the 33-acre Snoqualmie Community Park adjacent to the school.The King County Library System's Snoqualmie Library, opened in 2007, is a well-used community resource anchoring the other end of the
