Snoqualmie Falls....and "Twin Peaks"

We are not done with Seattle as yet....If you are in Seattle, please pay a visit to Snoqualmie Falls.

It is a natural wonder in Seattle and there are various tour groups in Seattle that will bring you to the Falls for a small fee. Located at the outskirts of the city, it is very scenic and I was told by my guide that the cult TV series "Twin Peaks" was actually filmed here.

You can actually make your way to the base of the falls by foot if you are adventurous enough. We didn't do that....Anyway, we were quite wet as a result of the strong winds that we experienced.

Oh yes, I forgot...bring a raincoat, because if the wind is blowing strongly in the direction, you will get wet and cold! There is a fenced up area (for safety reasons) where you can gaze at the grandeur of the Falls. There is a hotel at the top...nice view!
On the way back, we passed by some waterfront housing and that was when our guide told us that was where Bill Gates lived.

Notice the lodge overlooking the Falls ...it costs a bomb to stay for a night.

Peering downwards...that is a 270 ft drop to the bottom!

Notice the mist 'kicked' up by the Falls.
