- 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.
- Denny Camp Falls is likely the largest of a number of small waterfalls found both above and below Franklin Falls along the South Fork Snoqualmie River. Conveniently this waterfall happens to be situated almost immediately to a road and features quite easy access (though clear views require a bit of less-than-easy scrambling). The river here constricts between narrow gorge walls and plunges 27 feet into a small bowl flanked by dark mossy cliffs. Because of the constricted gorge walls, the Franklin Falls trail which passes the falls has to divert almost quite literally onto Denny Creek Road #58, and this fortunately facilitates quick in-and-out access for those looking to visit several waterfalls in the area in one day.
- Apple IIc (Wikipedia)
The Apple IIc is a personal computer introduced by Apple Inc. shortly after the launch of the original Macintosh in 1984. It is essentially a compact and portable version of the Apple IIe. The IIc has a built-in floppy disk drive and a keyboard, and was often sold with its matching monitor. The c in the name stands for compact, referring to the fact it is a complete Apple II setup in a smaller notebook-sized housing. It is compatible with a wide range of Apple II software and peripherals.
