Railroad Avenue is lined with various upscale family-owned restaurants, breweries, pubs, and neighborhood cafes.
The neighborhoods in Snoqualmie consist of custom single-family homes on spacious lots, many of which are riverfront properties. Astounding panoramic views of the Cascade Range and Mount Si dominate the landscape.
