East Lake Sammamish Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This path follows the shore of Lake Sammamish, providing views of the water as it goes. Because of the corridor's history as a railway, the path is paved for the most of the trip and is nearly flat. This trail connects Redmond and Issaquah and is popular with cyclists, runners, dog walkers, and hikers.

The route has been built in stages, with the first leg opening to the public in 2006 and the last 3.6-mile section set to be paved in 2020, thanks to a variety of collaborations and years of community support.

Snoqualmie Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

The Snoqualmie Falls is a waterfall of the Snoqualmie River. Here nature has once again made the greatest effort to inspire us humans. The place offers a wonderful view of the falls, there is also a lot to learn from a technical point of view. The waterfall is 30 meters wide and 82 meters high. There are two free visitor parking spaces directly on the street. The opposite car park is connected to the viewpoints by a pedestrian bridge.
The waterfall was probably the backdrop for the TV series "Twin Peaks"
