Encyclopedia > Snoqualmie Valley

The Snoqualmie Valley is a farming and timber-producing region located along the Snoqualmie River in Western Washington, United States. The valley stretches from the confluence of the three forks of the river at North Bend to where the Snoqualmie River joins the Snohomish River at Monroe. This stretch of the river includes Snoqualmie Falls


Hops were the major crop of this region in the late 19th century.


The valley is the ancestral home of the Snoqualmie people. The name Snoqualmie comes from the native word for "Moon the Transformer" and originates in the creation story of the Snoqualmie people.
