On April 14, 2024, a devastating fire tore through our bakery in historic downtown Snoqualmie, leaving our beloved Chickadee Bakeshop & Snoqualmie Pie Co. in ruins. What was once a warm and welcoming space, filled with the aroma of freshly baked treats, is now nothing but ashes and memories, almost a year later, and a lot of road blocks, our spirit remains unbroken.

Chickadee Bakeshop & Snoqualmie Pie Co. has always been more than just a bakery—it’s been a place of community, comfort, and connection. Over the past year, we poured everything we had into bringing Chickadee to life in the former Café Minee space. It was a long and challenging journey—securing the lease was just the beginning. We invested countless hours and resources into updating the power to the space, ensuring safety and longevity for the business. Unexpected delays in acquiring power slowed our progress, but we persevered, determined to create something truly special for the community. Due to these delays and increased buildout costs, funds originally slated for essential baking equipment had to be redirected to completing the buildout, further straining our resources.
