Getting to Falls City???
- Thread starter Dr. Ill
- Start date
Take I-5 north to SR 18 East. After you pass through Tacoma SR 18 is about another 5-10 minutes on. Take that all the way east to Snoqualmie Ridge and when it ends at the T turn left. That road will take you past Snoqualmie Falls and down the hill and across the bridge to Fall City.
You riding up here? If so there are several awesome places within about 10 minutes of Fall City. Let us know and we'll set you up with a few that are easy to find.
