Snoqualmie, WA
Snoqualmie, WA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Snoqualmie's 4,553 buildings earn a 51st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Snoqualmie's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 51st percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
4,553 buildings are counted in Snoqualmie, and 82.6% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 17.4% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
How Snoqualmie compares
Snoqualmie's risk sits at a similar level relative to Washington (63rd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (51st) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Snoqualmie ranks 15,461 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,748 by building count (1 is largest). Within Washington alone, it ranks 235 of 628 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Washington on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Snoqualmie
At the 51st national percentile, Snoqualmie rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 82.6% of Snoqualmie's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
