Where to Eat in Snoqualmie | Eater Seattle

"A 20-minute drive into the Cascade foothills brings you to azure waters and evergreen forests with hikes for every level: you can hoof two miles up to Rattlesnake Ledge for a sweeping view, push all the way up Rattlesnake Mountain (about eleven miles), or stick to the easy, incline-free 3/4-mile trail along the lake between the parking lot and the Cedar River Watershed Educational Center. Despite the name, there are no rattlesnakes here—the windy grasslands make a rattling sound—and the park is managed by Seattle Public Utilities because it’s part of the watershed that supplies about 65 percent of King County’s drinking water." - Meg van Huygen
