- Seattle Neighborhoods: Licton Springs — Thumbnail History (historylink.org)
Licton Springs celebrates a long history as both a unique recreational spot and a commercial crossroads. The residential neighborhood in north Seattle is wedged between the busy corridors of Interstate-5 and Aurora Avenue. It takes its name from Liq’tid or Licton, the Salish word for the reddish mud of the springs – one of the few Puget Sound Salish words still used as a place name.
- 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.
