Snoqualmie Summit The Summit will continue to develop as the recreational and community center point of the Pass. New development should be primarily focused toward providing commercial and community services for the year round recreational visitor, other tourists and community residents. Both Forest Service activities and private development should cater to visitor needs by providing information, services and products . Recreation related services should be coordinated to complement each other and provide a complete range of activities, i.e. skiing/hiking, shopping, dining, and lodging. Community needs should be identified and provided to project proponents, land owners and governmental agencies . Summit Central Summit Central should be similar in use to Alpental in that it will be oriented toward providing recreational facilities and services. A mixed use facility could be developed which could be sited to be accessible to the general traveler and the resident population; facilities might include conference facilities within a hotel/motel complex . Exit 54 Because of its visibility and land base, the commercial area at Exit 54 could provide services directed toward the traveler on 1-90 (its location makes this area less conducive to ski related services). Over time, as Gold Creek Valley, Hyak and other residential areas develop, or as the Summit is built-out, Exit 54 may become a convenient place for such uses as a community center, post office, and/or general store or supermarket. General All activity centers should inform visitors about the entire range of Pass areas and activities. Directional signs and maps should be used at each. Activity centers should be connected, where practical, by trails . 3.6.2 Design Guideline Outline Site Planning • Environmental Conditions (solar access, wind, vegetation) • Grades (cuts and fills) • Drainage • Utilities • Circulation (vehicle and pedestrian) • Storage (firewood, snow, trash) • Parking • Public spaces Kittitas County Comprehensive Plan December 2016
