Snoqualmie, Washington

About this city

Snoqualmie is a historic mountain city nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Range within King County, Washington, split beautifully by the roaring Snoqualmie River. Long sacred to the native Snoqualmie People, the area boomed in the early 20th century as a premier company logging town operated by the Snoqualmie Falls Lumber Company. Today, it has transitioned into an upscale residential and outdoor tourism community, globally recognized for its breathtaking waterfall and its preservation of Pacific Northwest timber and railroad heritage.
