North Bend parents have been asking for over 30 years to fence the playground

As a child growing up in North Bend and attended North Bend Elementary from 4th and 5th grade in the early 1980's.  My mother Sharon Marion now known as Sharon Yakanak was head of the North Bend Elementary Elementary Parent Teachers Association.  Please convince the Snoqualmie Valley School District or better yet have the North Bend Parent Teachers Association raise the money and put the fence up.  However the real question is since their is a trail from the north from EJ Roberts Park you need to allow the children to play on the equipment after hours.  Since the City of North Bend owns the land the school is on.  Maybe the City of North Bend could employ a park employee or talk to the King County Si View Park District about leasing or buying the land they could manage the playground when school is not in session.  Snoqualmie Valley School District can not man the playground after hours.  Better yet may be a parent volunteer could employee a citizen patrol this is my mother asked for when she was in charge of the North Bend Elementary PTA from 1980-1985.  This is when Frank Crnick a Roslyn native was principal their. To make this happen you can Ken Hearing who graduated with my mother in 1969 at Mt Si High School at the North Bend City Hall at (425) 888-1211 and the Snoqualmie Valley Superintendent Joel Aune at (425) 831-8007 and North Bend Elementary principal Neil Fraser at (425) 831-8007.  Thanks my friend Living Snoqualmie for writing a piece on this.  I need to add that parents have complained about it for over 30 years about the playground at North Bend Elementary.
