- Source Lake Falls (waterfallsnorthwest.com)
The South Fork of the Snoqualmie River officially starts at Source Lake in the basin just north of the Alpental Ski Area at Snoqualmie Pass. Though diminutive in size its outflow is fed by several rocky alpine basins higher up on the ridgeline below Bryant and Chair Peaks which punctuate the skyline in the Alpental area. As the fledgling river meanders out of the lake and through sub-alpine huckleberry meadows, it encounters a very nondescript headwall and inconspicuously plunges over a three-stage waterfall which were it situated along the nearby Snow Lake Trail would be one of the marquis destinations for hikers in the immediate Snoqualmie Pass area.
- Millard Fillmore (Wikipedia)
Millard Fillmore (January 7, 1800 – March 8, 1874) was the 13th president of the United States, serving from 1850 to 1853, and was the last president to have been a member of the Whig Party while in office. A former member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Fillmore was elected the 12th vice president in 1848, and succeeded to the presidency when Zachary Taylor died in July 1850. Fillmore was instrumental in passing the Compromise of 1850, which led to a brief truce in the battle over the expansion of slavery.
