Waterfalls of Washington

Mt Rainier over Seattle


The state of Washington perhaps epitomizes the personality, climate, and geology of the
Pacific Northwest.

Indeed, it has got a notoriously wet climate as well as favorable geology for waterfalls. Many of the falls can be visited in a reasonable day trip from metropolitan areas such as the Seattle area. However, there are others spread throughout the state, such as in the south near the active Mt St Helens, the west on the Olympic Peninsula, or even at the state's iconic Mt Rainier.

Perhaps the most famous of the waterfalls in the state is Snoqualmie Falls, which is a short distance further inland from Seattle (which is why it's very popular).

Washington is known as the evergreen state for a reason, and I'm sure with repeated trips to this area, we'll be collecting many more waterfall sightings throughout the state. But for now, have a look at our humble sampling of waterfalls we've seen so far.
