June 2, 2019 - A Sunny Drop

The trade off for seeing Snoqualmie Falls on a sunny day is that the 270' drop of the Snoqualmie River may have only a fraction of the water flow as a wet March day.

Did you know that Niagara Falls is a 167' drop?

Heavy rain, wind and the 6800 cubic feet per second volume of water at Snoqualmie Falls create a  heavy mist, at times nearly completely obscuring the 268 foot falls.  While the volume of water may seem high, the water flow was 17000 cubic feet per second less than 48 hours before.

The two power plant located at Snoqualmie Falls generates enough electricity to power 16,000 houses.  The first power plant was completed in 1899 and is located 270 feet below the surface of the river.  It was the world's first completely underground power plant.  The second power plant is located down river from the falls and became operational in 1910.
