Overview
Mission
To educate people about the history of the greater maple valley area, provide a means for people to do research on their heritage, and to showcase the history of the area through maintaining three museums with displays of the past.
What it reported doing in 2025
The fire engine museum houses restored 1926 howard cooper fire engine which originally served the valley.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Liabilities are high compared with assets and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
