The View
At 270 feet, this natural wonder is the main attraction of Snoqualmie. Day-trippers park in the free lot and check out the falls from the observation deck at the top, while romancing overnighters stay at the plush Salish Lodge. Downtown Snoqualmie offers a variety of unique antique shops along with the well-known Snoqualmie Brewery.
The Experience
A steep half-mile hike will lead you down to the base of the falls. If you don't want to hike, the park above has an excellent lookout point for waterfall-gazing without the work. Perched atop the falls, dining reservations at the Salish Lodge will not disappoint. For TV buffs, both the waterfall and lodge gained notoriety after they were featured in David Lynch's cult TV series "Twin Peaks."

I would highly recommend this place for families or people who like to go outdoors for short walks and beatiful sites. The fall is very nice BUT there are way too many people for my taste. It was very touristy and I felt strange because everyone seemed to have children.... If you want to go for a real hike I would suggest elsewhere but if you need a quick family trip this place is great.

I have lived in the seattle area for 3 years and just made it to the falls with our last batch of visiting family. It is quite an engineering marvel! You can hear the roar of the falls before you leave the parking lot/can see it. The mist rises up from where the falls rush into the water and create amazing photo ops. The late spring/early summer are some of the best times to visit because the mountain snow is melting fast and it creates more impressive falls. Make sure you get the brochure that explains how the falls' engineering works. There is also a train museum with lots of old (most are not restored) trains and a restored depot. You can drive by and see all the trains, just a few miles down road from the falls.

Snoqualmie Falls is breathtaking. Wear comfortable shoes if you want to walk down to the bottom of the Falls. The town of Snoqualmie is also worth a visit. Found a delightful place to eat, Snoqualmie Brewery and Tap Room. We live on the east coast but hope to get the opportunity to visit the west coast again soon.
