Mayor Mary Miller and Mayor Katherine Ross are proud to proclaim October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in North Bend and Snoqualmie. As one of the most prevalent forms of cancer affecting people worldwide, breast cancer significantly impacts the lives of those diagnosed, their families, and their communities.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month provides an opportunity to promote education, support ongoing research and raise public awareness about breast cancer, encouraging people to take proactive steps towards their health and well-being.
The cities of North Bend and Snoqualmie recognize the courage and strength of survivors, the dedication of healthcare providers and the invaluable contributions of researchers and advocates in the ongoing fight against breast cancer. Mayor Miller and Mayor Ross encourage all residents to participate in educational activities to learn about and support breast cancer research and engage in efforts that promote awareness and early detection.
The Snoqualmie Police Department is also celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Residents may notice a pink “Snoqualmie-North Bend” police patch on officers around both cities in October. The patches are designed as a reminder of the importance of early detection and yearly testing.
