Don't Make This Rookie Mistake When Visiting Snoqualmie Falls | Pacific Northwest Adventures
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Snoquamie Falls located 30 minutes east of Seattle is one of Washington State's top attractions, drawing 1.5 million visitors each year. This majestic waterfall is a Pacific Northwest gem!
However, plan according if you should visit this destination, especially if you plan to visit during the winter. I feel bad for the many folks who traveled great distances to see the waterfall on this day.
Amanda and I stopped by L'Experience Paris bakery in Issaquah for coffee and pastry on this day. There's two other locations (Bellevue and Mercer Island) but we chose this one because it was on the way.
Hope you enjoy this vlog. I may make a part two as we did quite a bit on this day.

A little bit about me...
My name is Dennis aka Lao Ocean (also aka Dr. Wtpho, but more about that later) and I'm a Lao American RUclipsr based in Seattle, WA. Seattle has been my home since 1980. My videos and vlogs consist of walking tours in Seattle and abroad, travel, and things related to the Lao diaspora. I drink way too much coffee, eat pho 20PHO7, and also make food and food review videos. ☕️ ✌️

Whenever I go to the falls the theme from Twin Peaks plays in my head.
Wow so cool thank you for sharing video
Thanks for having such a Great Sense of Humor! Awesome Video!
Thanks for watching!
Oh gosh, and that is a long ride out there! Still looked fun though!
Love your laugh☺during this video!
Also,those desserts look deeelicious!
Hope your wife?gets better soon..
I am fighting a cold too!
Made my morning🌞🎉☕🥐thank you Loa
Thanks for watching!
Pacific Northwest is beautiful! Might follow up with a part 2 to this vlog - did a lot on this day! ✌️
I live in North Bend and grew up in Snoqualmie, the Falls has always been one of our true treasures. Not small town living anymore, Snoqualmie population is almost 20K and North Bend is upward of 10K and growing.
Worked in north bend for years , when we got really stressed out we went to the falls to get our shit together. Falls are super cool after a big storm or a freeze.
Love seeing the falls during a freeze!
@@LaoOcean go to carnation and visit the the tree house 🏡 guy.
Good stuff
It’s been foggy lately. I love going there and to the casino.
Thanks for your great efforts. I have been watching your vlogs for three days and enjoyed them. How is the weather in the Pacific Northwest in mid march? I’m arriving here around this time for holiday. I wish I don’t see this fog blocking the view of the falls. Also where can I enjoy watching cherry blossom and tulip in Seattle? Thanks
Thanks for watching. Keep an eye on the weather but in general there’s sometimes sunny days in March.
Nice 3D effect when you wiped the lens!
Wow, they took out the gazebo?
Have not been there for at least 10 years.
In the summer going to the base of the falls is great too
😂 such fun you are!!!!!!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Oh wow snow finished there the place looks heavenly divine respect.
Bro, thanks for getting out of the city. 🤙
What a fun production, always good to see the beautiful Mrs. Ocean. Truly enjoying your videos and stories Mr. Ocean. Again, thank you Sir...
I bet it is so much to live out there
I live out here and it's King County and the taxes are outrageous. Many people moving to Cle Elum and places east of the mountains.
That’s so wonderful buddy
You’re the best ,
With what are you filming?????
Osmo Pocket 2 + GoPro

Thank you buddy
God bless you more for this video
Thank you very much
If you ever get a chance, you can take a tour of the Power Plant! I've been down there. It's amazing!
Ooh I wanna do that!
Always having a good time, life is too short not to. Just the sound of the falls is as magical as seeing them. Something about the sound of falling water that's so relaxing. Only been a handful of times have ever found a spot in the lower parking lot. Putting the power plant under the river bed was an engineering milestone. Believe Pudget Light and energy has a video documentary about building the plant. Pick me up another Twin Peaks coffee mug while you're there Mr Dennis.
Thanks for watching as always, sir!
I really enjoy your good sense of humor , always appreciate and enjoy your down to earth , pleasant personality . Thanks for another fun video . YES I am having a good time 🤣 Blessings to you and your beautiful wife 🙏💕
Thanks for watching and having a good time! 😂
@@LaoOcean I can hardly wait for part 2 😂 Blessings 🙏
Thank you for doing a “tourist” walk🚶🏻♀️. Went to hurricane ridge🌀 when I was in Washington same view. Foggy 💭 🌫
Hey buddy great video super cool videos please let me know any good major casinos 🎰 nearby Seattle maybe some type of in Indian tribe. 🙏 always a learning experience on your videos. Keep on walking 🚶♂️ 10,000 steps my way of thinking as well. Thanks again for your videos.
10k Sub special. Lao Ocean goes up Mt. Rainier!
Uhhh Mt. Rainier? Hehe
Had a hard time drinking my coffee this morning while watching because I just kept smiling/laughing at the "view." Making a mental note to go on a clear day 😂 Thanks for starting my day off right!
🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣
It’s been quite awhile since we’ve stopped there to see the falls. Last time was when we were on a motorcycle ride. Thanks for the hint on the bigger parking lot. I don’t ever remember ever having to pay to park. And thanks for letting us watch you WIPE 🤣 the lens!! Love adventures! Husband is retired now so always looking for some place to go or explore. Foggy all week here so wasn’t surprised to see a foggy view of the falls. ❤️
Thanks as always for watching! 😂
Wow! Can't believe I lived there for 20+ years and never got the these falls! Each time we come out there I make it a stop and something always comes up. Hope you go back when the weather is nicer so we can REALLY see the falls. Don't blame Amanda at all, I probably would've stayed in the car also.
I will return in a clear day haha.
Wow So cool Man. thank you.
Thanks for going out of the city and showing some of the beautiful places you are so close to and have the ability to take a day trip and enjoy….by the way loved your filming of the waterfall. 🤣😂.Perfect! 😍
So many beautiful attractions within reach of Seattle for sure. Thanks for watching!
I hope you did not have to deal with that fog on the drive back to Seattle! Really did enjoy that video, particularly the comment about hail, and the continual lens wiping. Looking forward to part two.
At least we know what to expect on a rainy foggy day lol. I still enjoyed this video because of your energetic fun personality, which always makes the videos enjoyable to watch. 😁
Thanks for watching! 🤣
You have a very smart wife!!!
Wow!! You dealt with that mist like a champ!! I loved the short shots of the drive out there. So many great memories. What happened to part 2? You left us wanting more!!!!
😂
Nice video but hard to tell where the mist ends and the waterfall starts. Still great to see the outlaying areas of Seattle.😀✌☔
😂
Mother Nature apparently had other plans. One of those, "Welcome to Washington, now GO HOME..." type of days. But the splendor of the GREAT PNW cannot be denied. In my fondest dreams, I am hoping to relocate up there, put down roots, and just live in peace and harmony. And, maybe take a trip to Snoqualmie Falls on a day not quite so foggy :-)
the falls are perfect, except they need a Pho restaurant
That would be heaven on earth haha.
@@LaoOcean great minds think alike
Take a trip to south West Florida!!! this rain SUCKS
Wow, it looks too foggy to see anything there! Bad timing? 😀 you'd better get a refund on parking fees for not being able to enjoy the scenery.
Issaqah is an up and coming town. Give it five to ten years and it'll give Redmond from ten years ago a run for its money. :)
Meanwhile, Redmond will look like today's Bellevue.
Snoqualmie Falls -- gorgeous place, if you can see it! It's a fun hike to the bottom, hopefully they will open it up again soon. The Salish Lodge has incredible food, although a little pricey. Get a table by the window for a remarkable view of the falls.
Too bad about the weather, but that's a honest look at PNW winter conditions. We're called Webfoots for a reason.
