At 268 ft, Snoqualmie Falls is one of the taller waterfalls in Washington — a plunge waterfall worth seeking out.

Snoqualmie Falls sits on Snoqualmie River. It lies in King, Washington. The site is on public land managed by Puget Sound Energy / City of Snoqualmie (public viewing park).

This is a roadside waterfall: visible from a road, parking area, or a walk of a few hundred feet. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 1.4 miles round trip. The nearest town is Snoqualmie.

When to go: Winter and spring high flow (Nov-May); flows year-round. Like most waterfalls, Snoqualmie Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
