The pass lends its name to a census-designated place (CDP) located at the summit (see: Snoqualmie Pass, Washington). Both the CDP and Snoqualmie Pass are named after the Snoqualmie people of the valley to the west.
From Wikipedia: Bamboos are also the fastest growing woody plants in the world. They are capable of growing up to 60 cm (24 in.) or more per day due to a unique rhizome-depâ¦endent system. However, this astounding growth rate is highly dependent on local soil and climatic conditions..
There are two distinct sections of bamboo that describe how they grow in nature. These two sections, clumpers and runners, are determined by what kinds of roots or rhizomes they have, as well as how fast they spread. Clumpers grow in dense clumps and slowly expand from the place of origin.
