Locate the home on the ridge or valley floor
Snoqualmie's terrain overview places Historic Downtown on the river valley floor and Snoqualmie Ridge on the hill to the west. Give the driver the actual entrance and unloading point, rather than only the neighborhood name. Walk the property's approach for slope changes, steps and turning space, then choose where bins can pause indoors. Share those details separately for each home, even on a short move within Snoqualmie.

Check the neighborhood street after the main road
Snoqualmie's snow plan names Snoqualmie Parkway and Highway 202 as A-priority routes; lower-priority streets follow as conditions allow. Plows can also leave snow across driveway entrances. Check the route map and final block before dispatching a vehicle, and ask who maintains any private road or parking area. A treated main road does not establish a usable unloading point or carrying path at the home.

Recheck valley roads before taking a detour
Heavy rain or snowmelt can close roads across the Snoqualmie Valley, even when the destination's driveway looks dry. For county-road approaches, use King County's road-closure resources, and check city and state notices for the remaining route. Agree on how you will pause the move if access changes. Follow closure signs and never drive through floodwater; an online map cannot guarantee an open or safe route.
