Snoqualmie Pass Wedding

Snoqualmie Pass is the name of a pass through the Cascade Range and of an unincorporated town (CDP) in Kittitas County, Washington and King County, USA. The population was 201 at the 2000 census.

Both town and pass are named after the Snoqualmie people of the valley to the west.

Interstate 90 across the pass is the largest of the three east-west mountain routes across Washington state which are kept open year-round, the others being Stevens Pass (United States Highway 2) to the north, and White Pass (U.S. Highway 12) to the south. I-90 is the primary commercial artery between Seattle, Washington and points east carrying an average of 27,087 vehicles through the pass per day.

Based on per capita income, one of the more reliable measures of affluence, Snoqualmie Pass ranks 6th of 522 areas in the state of Washington to be ranked. It is also the highest rank achieved in Kittitas County.

The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad finished building a track through Snoqualmie Pass in 1909. The same year, an improved wagon road was also built over the pass. Sunset Highway (Washington Primary State Highway 2) was opened through the pass in 1915.[2]
