Snoqualmie Train and Falls





We drove to the trains near Snoqualmie Falls without telling Nate or Julie why. Nate's eyes widened as we parked near the depot where we were nearly surrounded by the line of broken down steam engines, railroad yard, and running diesel engine. The ride itself was fairly unevently -- one long ride near Mount Si, then back past the depot to the top of the waterfalls themselves. The coaches were had plush old seats, though, and running around the train yard was best of all. I couldn't resist putting coins on the tracks for our own version of smashed pennies. Later we went to the waterfalls for a quick visit, then out to Fall City and Carnation to buy some (what else) fresh corn.
