The Snohomish Falls feeds into a dam that pushes a turbine to generate energy for customers with Puget Sound Energy. Wouldn’t this be a fun water slide?

On a chilly night, I brought my tripod to Gas Works Park, and captured a nice view of Seattle after dusk.
Yesterday, I mentioned that it was a 1 mile climb to the top of the water fall. I had to span this into a second day to capture the different vantage points from top and bottom. At the top, this is a stream that leads to the top point of the water fall.
Multnomah Falls is like having two waterfalls merge into one. From the bottom, there is a tall waterfall that feeds into a second pond, and from a bridge vantage point, there is another waterfall. The trail is a one-mile climb to the top.
Along the Columbia River, which separates Washington and Oregon, there is a famous landmark – the Bridge of Gods. It’s a toll bridge with a cheap toll, and connects Cascade Rocks, OR with Washington. Driving across it provides a birds-eye, serene view of the Columbia River.
Before I left Indianapolis, I took a picture of my model Boeing 787 aircraft. I finally got to see it full-sized at the Museum of Flight, which is just south of Seattle.
This lone seagull sits atop a lamp post and peers out towards Puget Sound from Mercer Island.
Every evening, cars, busses, and taxis line up along I-90 for the evening commute heading home towards Seattle. There’s even a pedestrian bridge adjacent to the highway for bikers to gain exercise or commute from Mercer Island to Seattle.
Sometimes, exploring the country via a mindless drive can lead you to magnificent views like this one.
You know it’s a good day in Seattle when you can see Mt. Rainier from any part of the city. Even though this mountain is 60 miles away, it still looks large enough to be a part of the city.
