Being the first hike in my trip to Washington, I would say this was an incredible experience to start with Wallace Falls State Park. I consider myself not very fit, but the the trail to the lower, middle, and upper falls is doable for all ages. Let's just say there were a few kids and older adults passing me by. 2.8 mile point to the lower falls, 3.0 mile point to the middle falls, and 3.7 mile point to the upper falls. There are beautiful scenics throughout the trails and at each level of the falls. Yet, with each level, it becomes more challenging as you walk to the top. Completely worth it though! There are certain view points along the trail to look out towards the horizon that's absolutely beautiful.
I didn't see any wildlife at the time of my visit, but I have heard you may see some there. If you don't want to hike up the falls at all, there is Greg Ball Trail to walk up to Wallace Lake (4.1 miles). This is trail is a bit easier to handle than the one up the falls.
I would strongly suggest to get there early. Parking is limited. Washington State Parks required a Discover Pass for vehicle access. (10 dollars for one day, 30 dollars for the whole year). You can park down the road away from the parking lot for free, but it will require a good walk to the entrance. Expect a lot of people to show on weekends and on sunny days as you would try to take the same advantage. Go check this place out!

We took our 4 grand-children here in April 2017. This is a great place to see reptiles and other wildlife that you don't see especially this close. We saw many of the world's most deadly reptiles, all of which have their poison removed. We got to pet an iguana, touch a turtle, and stare an alligator in the eye. We would definitely return here again.

We did the Class IV-V rafting trip on the Skykomish River meeting in Gold Bar. Gold Bar is about an hour fifteen outside of Seattle, so the drive wasn't too bad. Once you get there, you notice that Alpine Adventures is a building, a tent, and some buses/trailers that the guides live in. It also had a funky sweaty smell. Once all of the formalities were taken care of, we got our equipment, all of which was clean and in good condition. We boarded the vans which were actually very dirty which was very offputting. Once we got to the river, we had a safety talk and got into our boats.
Our boat was very inexperienced (our family has rafted at the Whitewater Center in Charlotte and the other family except for the adult had not rafted). Our guide was Jojo, and he was great. The highlight was when we initially got on and they stressed not doing anything uncomfortable--"Peer pressure is great...but not here. If you don't want to do Boulder Drop (Class V), don't. We will not make fun of you. We will commend you for making a good decision" or something along those lines. Very professional. When we got to Boulder Drop, we pulled over and they talked us through every scenario. Some members of the boat chose not to do it, so they were walked to the end. The rest of us had a lot of fun and nobody fell out.
After Boulder Drop, there was an opportunity to jump off of a huge boulder into freezing water which I did not take advantage of. They have a chicken cookout when you get back which is nice. Jojo was excellent. He fit the bill of raft guide perfectly. The only negatives were the dirty vans and smelly location. I'd definitely recommend AA to anyone who wants to raft, though. The Skykomish is beautiful!

This is a gem, not worth missing. If you love tractors and historic implements, you will love your walk through this little museum, located at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds. There is working machinery, run by hand started pulleys and belts, including a waterwheel; there are miniature train sets that actually work, a mine shaft, tons of farm implements and "old timey" appliances and inventions that today's kids never knew existed, even a hand crank phone and an Edison sound machine. If you play your cards right, you can participate in making your own piece of rope and help grind corn...and often the tractors and outdoor equipment is fired up for visitors. It is free to tour, but runs completely off donations, I highly recommend taking the little ones and while you have to keep an eye on them so they don't touch some of the precious pieces, there are switches they hit to turn on a number of machines and can even try out the old phones. A must see if you visit the Fair, or any time there is an event going on, check to see if the museum is open! Great time was had by all!

My family (of 3) drove over to Monroe, WA from Enumclaw, WA to enjoy and watch a wakeboarding competition on July 9th. I couldn't tell you the last time I went to Monroe, if ever! Now I am a little disappointed I couldn't have enjoyed the drive more, this park is a great little area. The water where the competition was looked clean and the roads to park and walk were clean and picked up from litter.
The day trip itself was a wonderful one, the town and the area made it so much better. I felt my vehicle was safe at all times as there were cops patrolling the area in cruisers as well as walking around.
All in all, great area and I will be back for the next competition!

It is a self-proclaimed five-star, dive bar.. Seriously, my husband and I are not of the younger set, but we go there for dinner once or twice a week. The menu is diverse and not your typical pub food. The beer selections includes old standards as well as local craft beers. There is wine and amazing mixed drinks Dunn expertly by the staff. Speaking of staff, they are professionals in every sense of the word! We have been going there for decades to come and seriously invite you to check it out for yourself. The owner and staff are professionals and will take care of you.
