Snoqualmie Falls


Snoqualmie Falls

Well, I've been in Seattle for a few weeks now, so I thought I'd better send an update. I've been working hard, but in between the 10 hours days, I have managed to get some more Snowboarding in - mostly at Snoqualmie, which is only about an hour away from Seattle. On one of the recovery days we visited Snoqualmie Falls, the waterfall featured in Twin Peaks, apparently.
Apart from snowboarding, the other regular feature of my visit so far has been the Sunday Brunch. So far, we've tried Mecca in Queen Anne, Julia's in Capitol Hill, and most recently High Life which is in an old fire station in Ballard. Expect some brunch reviews sometime in the future!

Ready to hit the slopes?

I've entered the gnarly world of snowboarding with a trip yesterday to Crystal Mountain, which is 80-odd miles South-East of Seattle. I'm feeling a tad sore and bruised today, but I'm sure practise will make perfect!
