Snoqualmie Falls

This 82-metre tall waterfall is also a 40-minute drive from Seattle and was at one point most famous for appearing in Twin Peaks’ opening credits. Yet the beautiful view of the falls has now become vastly well-known, attracting a large number of visitors yearly. A must-see, visitors can drive to an observation deck just across the falls to get the best view.

Washington Pass

If you’re tight on time, this is one other overlook you cannot miss. At over 1,600 metres in altitude, the Washington Pass Overlook is the highest point along Route 20. What makes it such a great spot? Definitely the views of Liberty Bell Mountain, one of the most beautiful of the mountains in North Cascades.

Ross Lake Overlook

Without a doubt, one of the most beautiful lakes in the area is Diablo Lake. It’s hard to tell that it’s actually a man-made reservoir, with how it blends seamlessly into the mountain range behind. The famous emerald waters are a result of glacier-ground rock silt, carried down via streams from the mountains. The lake is best seen from higher up, and for that, you can head to the Diablo Lake Overlook, which is a short drive off Route 20. Talk about a view!
