 * Well-written: The population was 17,304 at the 2010 census and estimated at 19,363 in 2018. I feel this can be slightly tweaked, perhaps something like Its population was 17,304 in the 2010 United States Census and was estimated to be 19,363 in 2018.
 * The town of Park Place was founded near the confluence... → Monroe was founded as Park Place near the confluence...
 * This is not an FAC so this isn't too terrible, but there are quite a few DUPLINKs to such articles as Skykomish River, Snoqualmie River, School district, Sultan, Washington, etc. I won't fail this if you don't, but I'd advise you to clean them up. You can use this tool to highlight them for your convenience.
 * On a similar note, I doubt you need to link common words such as "confluence" and "precipitation".


 * Verifiable/no original research: Duly referenced to reliable enough sources. I don't see any original research. Earwig's tool is timing out for me for copyvios, but this doesn't read like one so I'll accept this on good faith in that respect. ✅
 * Broad: Seems comprehensive enough, IMO. No section receives undue weight. ✅
 * Neutral: No qualms here. ✅
 * Stable: No apparent edit-warring in the last 50 edits. ✅
 * Media: Copyright statuses check out. The images are appropriate and add to the article. ✅

Overall, I'm inclined to pass this with a few tweaks that I mentioned above. Good work! – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 03:37, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for picking this one up for review. I have fixed the two sentences you pointed out and started de-linking a few duplicates and common terms. I would like to keep confluence, as it is not all that common and a bit rare in the region (most rivers here simply flow from mountain to sea without major interruptions).

 * Fair enough. I see no other major issues so I'm passing this. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 04:35, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
