Snoqualmie Falls is a 268 ft (82 m) waterfall
on the Snoqualmie River between Snoqualmie and Fall City, Washington,
USA. It is one of Washington's most popular scenic attractions, but is
perhaps best known internationally for its appearance in the cult
television series Twin Peaks. More than 1.5 million visitors come to the
Falls every year, where there is a two acre (8,000 m²) park, an
observation deck, and a gift shop.
You can view this popular natural wonder from a
viewing platform owned and operated by Puget Sound Energy. Access is
from State Route 202 one mile west of the Northwest Railway Museum in
Snoqualmie.
Most of the river is diverted into the power
plants, but at times the river is high enough to flow across the entire
precipice, which creates an almost blinding spray. High water occurs
following a period of heavy rains or snow followed by warm rainy
weather. This can occur during the rainy season which lasts from
November through March. During high water, the falls take on a curtain
form.
