Meadowbrook Farm is 460 acres of historic public open space
on the Snoqualmie Valley floor. The mythical birthplace of the
Snoqualmie tribe, "Hyas Kloshe Ilahee" (the Great Good Land) was
maintained for thousands of years by the Snoqualmies as a hunting and
food-growing prairie. Early white settlers homesteaded the land for
farms, and these were consolidated during teh late 1800's to form the
world's largest hop ranch. Subsequent farmers raised crops, dairy
herds, greenchop and hay.
Today, Meadowbrook Farm is used for wildlife habitat, historic and
cultural interpretation center, ongoing agriculture, and public
recreation. Much of the farm remains open field and wetland forest as
it has been for centuries.
