Day Thirteen, Road Trip/Cruise –Snoqualmie Falls   2 comments

Snoqualmie Falls is a 268-foot waterfall located east of Seattle on the Snoqualmie River between Snoqualmie
and Fall City, Washington. It is one of Washington’s most popular scenic attractions and is known internationally
for its appearance in the television series Twin Peaks.

For the Snoqualmie People, who have lived since time immemorial in the Snoqualmie Valley in western Washington, Snoqualmie Falls is central to their culture, beliefs, and spirituality.
A traditional burial site, to the Snoqualmie, the falls are “the place where First Woman and First Man
were created by Moon the Transformer” and “where prayers were carried up to the Creator by great mists
that rise from the powerful flow.” The mists rising from the base of the waterfall are said to serve to
connect Heaven and Earth. — Source: Wikipedia
