Things To Do
Snoqualmie
Welcome to Snoqualmie! We chose this location because, although we enjoy the city of Seattle, the surrounding nature is why we planted roots. Snoqualmie sits in a mountain pass just outside the city and offers the perfect glimpse into the natural beauty we fell in love with. Most of our guests are traveling from other parts of the country, and we didn’t want everyone to travel to “just another city”; we want you to check out some hikes, vistas, and breweries so you can experience the best of the PNW firsthand! Please know that while Snoqualmie is great, you can’t beat the national parks in the area. You may only visit the PNW once, so make the most of it: Visit one of the three top-rated national parks before or after the wedding! And while you’re here, you should also check out some of the best Seattle has to offer. Notes on both of those below as well. **See link for our personal recommendations**
Seattle
You’re all landing here and I encourage you to spend a few days checking out the city. If you’re looking for something specific, please let us know! Below are some of the more popular things to do as well as some of our personal favorites. **See link for our personal recommendations**
National Parks
If you can make the time, we strongly recommend visiting one of the three Washington national parks! They are all 2-3 hours from Seattle and are all some of the highest rated in the country. If you decide to check one out, let us know so we can provide a more extensive list of places to stay/eat/hike. All of the parks are loaded with great hikes, vistas, short nature walks, and more, making them accessible for all interests and abilities. Below are some of our favorite things to do! **See link for our personal recommendations**
