Fun Facts

The falls are considered a sacred place by the Snoqualmie Tribe, who believe that the mist from the falls carries prayers to the Great Spirit.

The waterfall plunges 268 feet, which is higher than Niagara Falls.

The Snoqualmie Falls Hydroelectric Plant, built in 1898, is one of the oldest operating power plants in the United States.

The falls are most spectacular during the rainy season, from November to March, when water flow is at its peak.

The falls were prominently featured in the opening credits of the TV series 'Twin Peaks.'

The falls were formed during the last Ice Age, approximately 10,000 years ago, as glaciers receded and carved out the landscape.

Snoqualmie Falls Park offers two acres of trails and picnic areas, providing visitors with stunning views of the falls and surrounding nature.
