There are two separate areas to view Snohomish Falls. Ten days ago, I captured the upper view. Here’s the vantage point from the lower deck.

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?
I found an interesting plant – it carried blueberries along its green and red leaves. The grey stone wall added a nice contrast to the background.
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.
