This is a great spot for a day hike. It's 4 miles round trip with an 1160 ft. elevation gain. No parking permit is required for the lot, which is a plus!

Driving Directions: From Seattle, drive east on I-90 to exit 32 for 436th Avenue SE. Turn right onto 436th Avenue SE, also signed as Cedar Falls Road SE. Proceed about four miles down the road to the Rattlesnake Lake parking lot on the right.

This is one of our favorite breweries. They have a great beer selection (we recommend you try a sampler) and the drive there is pretty. They don't serve food but you can order from Commonwealth next door, or one of the restaurants/food trucks nearby, and eat inside their taproom.

Downtown Snoqualmie has lots of little shops, cafes, and restaurants. The Northwest Railway Museum is also located in downtown.

This is the diner featured in the show Twin Peaks.
