Before logging and development forever changed the face of the Snoqualmie River Valley, old-growth trees nearly 400 feet tall dominated the landscape.

A few towering living examples are still scattered throughout the area, including an admirable cluster just a short hike from Interstate 90 at exit 47 in North Bend.

These survivors helped inspire Chuck Brodish of Fairwood to produce an informative 30-minute documentary, “The Land of the Giants,” which he will present at the Fairwood Library today (Saturday).

Brodish, a retiree and nature enthusiast, will answer questions about the film.

His co-producer and the director is Harold Corbin. Brodish and Corbin funded the documentary.

“This is a labor of love for me,” he said. “I just want people to see it and know the history of the Valley, which is so rich in lore.”

The film features photos Brodish has taken over decades, as well as historical photos courtesy of local museums.
