Established in 1934 this tavern has quite a history. It has made a huge transformation in the recent past. The Duvall Tavern is a fun, safe place to unwind, play some free pool, enjoy the awesome jukebox and meet with friends.
The City of Duvall (pronounced DOO-vahl) sits alongside the historic Snoqualmie Valley River nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains approximately 25 miles northeast of Seattle. Over 7,000 people live in Duvall, currently recognized as one of the fastest growing communities in the state. The area that has become known as Duvall was historically the home of the Snoqualmie Native American tribe. The center of the present-day town was located on a hillside homesteaded by brothers Francis and James Duvall, loggers who arrived in 1871. At that time, logging and farming were the driving economic forces in Duvall which utilized the Snoqualmie River for transportation.
The Cherry Valley School, the first school in Duvall, was built in 1879 and was constructed from the wood of a single tree. Until 1890, the river was the main lifeline to the Puget Sound. Trees were transported down river and goods were floated up. After much of the land had been cleared, logging companies moved in, bringing with them rails and roads. The abundance of jobs in the logging camps helped Cherry Valley to grow in the early years. By this time, cattle and dairy farms dotted the fertile valley. Many farm families built on higher ground to accommodate the flooding, which occurred almost every year. In 1892, the Valley House was built as the first hotel for travelers. Soon after, the first Methodist Church and a new school were constructed. In 1905, a swing bridge was built across the river, which later opened up stagecoach travel to and from the ferries on Lake Washington. In 1909, the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad began building a line along the river, but the town of “Cherry Valley” as it was first known (just north of present day town, down the hill from where the Dougherty House sits) was in the way. After much negotiation, the railroad agreed to move the town to its present location. Only Hick’s Market stills stands today. On January 6, 1913 Duvall was incorporated as a city by its rugged pioneer citizens. Many believe that the town was founded in order to open a saloon for which city status was required by the State of Washington at the time.
In 1934, a year after prohibition, The Duvall Tavern was born. According to the Duvall Historical Society, The Duvall Tavern is the oldest operating business in town. The south parking lot used to be the ramp to the old Stewart Street Bridge across the Snoqualmie River to Woodinville. In 1963, The Duvall Tavern was bought and sold three times in two days. It was won in a poker game by a well-known gambler in the valley who then sold it to another gambler to pay off his gambling debt…. That person then sold it to another person who wanted to be in the business.
