3. Palouse Falls, Palouse Falls State Park
Palouse Falls is an ice-age waterfall found in Eastern Washington, roughly 40 miles out of Walla Walla. Also, the official state waterfall; it includes a drop of 200 feet, a huge bowl, and a striking gorge. If you require additional information or any assistance, the Palouse Falls State Park, below the falls, provides resources and camping opportunities to visitors.
More importantly, this state park also includes a trio of exceptional observation points. The easiest observation point to access is the lower one. It’s a great place for photographers and painters too if you’re artistically inclined.
4. Franklin Falls, Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest
Nestled in the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest in King County, this is reported to be “one of the best waterfalls” close to Seattle. The hike to the waterfall is short and with only minimal elevation gain. It’s a short hike on a well-maintained trail.
Thus, it’s also a well-liked family waterfall hike that runs along the Snoqualmie River’s south fork. The water here thunders down 135 feet over a trio of tiers. Only the final 70 feet can be seen from the trail.
You can get closer to the pool beneath the pool but know that the path is slippery. Visit in the summer. It’s the perfect place to chill out.
