  Mr. REICHERT. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the City 
of North Bend, Washington, for reaching its centennial year in 2009.
  North Bend, located in the north end of the Eighth District of 
Washington State, is beautifully situated near the entrance of the 
Cascade Mountains with majestic Mount Si providing a stunning backdrop. 
Residents and tourists of all ages enjoy the many outdoor activities 
this natural, rural setting has to offer, including skiing, hiking, 
camping, hunting, fishing and swimming. The residents of North Bend are 
truly caring people who will continue to lead North Bend in protecting 
their unique rural setting while encouraging residential and business 
development. I commend Mayor Ken Hearing for his leadership of this 
town of 4,700.
  The Eighth District is a more vibrant area because of North Bend and 
I rise today to commend the citizens past and present on their success 
in reaching this milestone.
