             agricultural roots. The town
     was once known as Tolt, after the
     Snoqualmie word “Tolthue,” or
     river of swift waters, in use for thou-
     sands of years. In 1917, the town
     was renamed for the world-famous
     Carnation Dairy. While the farm has
     moved on, Carnation is expanding its
     rural role as a center for local, arti-
