Snoqualmie Falls

  Snoqualmie Falls rises dramatically at 386 feet, making it one of Washington's most iconic natural attractions. Dating back to the early 20th century, the falls have played a significant role in the local economy and were even used as a hydroelectric power source. Located in Snoqualmie, just east of Seattle and accessible via Snoqualmie Falls Park, the site offers viewing platforms and hiking trails for visitors to enjoy the impressive view. In April, the water flow is particularly robust due to snowmelt, providing an exhilarating sight. While you're there, keep an eye out for the diverse wildlife—over 270 species of birds have been documented in the area.
