- Franklin Falls (waterfallsnorthwest.com)
Franklin Falls is the uppermost waterfall along the South Fork Snoqualmie River which bears an officially recognized name, as well as developed trail access. More uniquely the falls have the distinct characteristic of being situated in between the east and west lanes of Interstate 90, with the westbound lanes crossing a talus slope directly above the falls on a high viaduct. Compounding this surprisingly unobtrusive influence of man, the trail to the falls is among the most popular in the Snoqualmie Pass area thanks to its ease and kid-friendliness.
- Zachary Taylor (Wikipedia)
Zachary Taylor (November 24, 1784 – July 9, 1850) was the 12th president of the United States, serving from 1849 until his death in 1850. Taylor was a career officer in the United States Army, rising to the rank of major general and becoming a national hero for his victories in the Mexican–American War. As a result, he won election to the White House despite his vague political beliefs. His top priority as president was to preserve the Union. He died 16 months into his term from a stomach disease. Taylor had the third-shortest presidential term in U.S. history.
