Snoqualmie, a rural community founded early in the Puget Sound region’s history, is located about 30 miles east of Seattle along the Snoqualmie River just above Snoqualmie Falls.
West Virginia is located entirely within the Appalachian Region, and the state is almost entirely mountainous, giving the reason for the nickname The Mountain State and the motto Montani Semper Liberi (“Mountaineers are always free”).
