The Summit acquired the Mountaineers Snoqualmie property few years ago. It lies between West and Central. A large amount of employee housing could be built there. The summit might do that -- or develop a bunch of McMansion ski houses like has been done behind "The Commonwealth" https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/102-Guye-Peak-Lane-Snoqualmie-Pass-WA-98068/61115335_zpid/?utm_campaign=androidappmessage&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=txtshare

Why do they need 10-12 different LLCs? I've been going up to the Pass more these last couple years--it's my protest vote against Vail Resorts and Alterra. I'm curious about all the expensive new houses. Who is buying them? I mean, it's Snoqualmie. The snow is iffy, the hikes are crowded, the interstate is loud and prone to closures, and there's next to nothing in the way of restaurants or other amenities (I know there are a couple). It just seems like for almost 1.8 million, you could do better. Or at least get a house without such a traffic roar. https://www.redfin.com/WA/Snoqualmie-Pass/106-Guye-Peak-Ln-98068/home/104460500

The multiple LLCs are so that no single entity has too much to lose when they inevitably get sued. I'm sure there are some loopholes and benefits in the tax code to exploit as well.

I've watched the days of actual good or even decent skiing up the dwindle for the last couple decades. I'm surprised there is any serious consideration going into spending piles of money there. "Rain skiing" isn't exactly a destination activity.

Thats a great spot to live if you need to physically be in seattle or bellevue every so often but can usually work from home. Sure beats paying a similar ammount for an equivalent home in cap hill just to get stabbed by a homless meth addict's drug needle.

I suspect if a person has $1.8m to spend, they have more choices than either Capitol Hill/getting stabbed or the Pass. I'm just saying for that money, I would not want the constant roar of truck traffic. Or no grocery or basic amenities. Or or or...

Eeh- not for me but if I was good enough and into it enough to ski Alpental maybe. 20 minutes to North Bend is not bad for supplies etc. Same as my walk to QFC. I doubt the developer cared too much, but I bet if you designed it to be quiet you could achieve it for not too much money. Probably just as bad as a craftsman on an arterial in the city to be honest. On the upside, I’d hope the busy spot would keep the hordes of tweakers away. That would be my concern with that kind of house anywhere around Seattle except the islands.

Ya, the interstate traffic would be annoying, as would ski weekend crowds... but think how awesome it would be on weekdays just to pop out after work and ski with 0 effort.
