Snoqualmie Falls

A short 30-minute drive east of Seattle is Snoqualmie Falls. This historic waterfall is breathtaking in any season. View it from the top, and then take the short hike down to the bottom to the river. Bring your own lunch to have a picnic and enjoy the view. It’s a very popular spot for floating in the summer when the weather’s warm out.

About Hometown Tourist

Every traveler wants travel tips from people who live in the city they’re visiting. Where do the locals hang out? Where is the best local eatery? What is the one must-see item in your town? Where is the best shopping? Who has the best happy hour? We all want to know.

This is not about reviews; it’s about recommendations. This is about people sharing their favorite restaurant, or that great spot to take an early morning stroll to catch that great view of the city, and the tourist attractions actually worth visiting. Who better to share that information than the locals, the people who live there?
