The following text is from the Northwest Railway Museum website:
The Snoqualmie Depot was constructed in 1890 by the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern Railway. It was used by successor companies Seattle and International Railroad, Northern Pacific Railway, and the Burlington Northern Railroad.
It is an unusually elaborate structure given the size of Snoqualmie in the 1890's and managed to survive relatively intact until the railroad abandoned the line in 1975. However, age and railway-initiated modifications changed the appearance significantly and it was no longer easy for people to recognize it as a functional train station.
