Meadowbrook
In 1904, Arthur Pratt purchased the Meadowbrook Farm that is located between North Bend and Snoqualmie. The farm was 1,200 acres and became a large dairy operation. Pratt then hired Angus Moffat as manger of the farm. Moffat built fences, constructed dairy barns, built a creamery, and supervised dairy herds as well as crops for the next 39 years.
The Meadowbrook Hotel was converted to worker housing, and the town of Meadowbrook was platted at the west end of the farm in 1923. By the late 1920's, Meadowbrook had become a town complete with a grocery store, hotel, meat market and the Brook Theatre.
At it's peak, Meadowbrook had a hotel, grocery store, meat market, drug store, taverns, a jewelry store, dentist office and several clothing stores. Meadowbrook was absorbed by the town of Snoqualmie in 1952 and today there are a few of the original brick buildings still standing.
