Snoqualmie
| River flowing through west-central Washington, USA; length 72 km/45 mi. It is formed by headstreams near the city of Snoqualmie (population (1990) 1,500), 43 km/27 mi east of Seattle, in the eastern Cascade Range, and merges with the Skykomish River to form the Snohomish River, flowing out through Everett to Puget Sound. |
| Snoqualmie Falls, just northwest of Snoqualmie, drops 82 m/270 ft, and has an early underground power-generating facility (1898). In the 1980s the falls provided a backdrop for the cult television series Twin Peaks, which was filmed largely in Snoqualmie and in North Bend, to the southeast. |
| The Snoqualmie Pass area, in the Mount Baker–Snoqualmie National Forest, is one of Washington's most popular ski resorts. |
