Q. We just recently moved here and somebody said we MUST go see Snoqualmie Falls. Is this true? And what happens if we don’t? We’re only half-kidding here: We want to go, and are curious about what kind of shape the trail to the falls is in this time of the year. And is the Salish Lodge a good place for lunch?

A: Yes, you have to go. Just get it over with. Once you’re there, peering over the side of a cliff at what would be a stunning, 268-foot waterfall — if you could see it through the swirling mist — you’ll be glad you came. Probably.

The trail to the falls is in great shape. We hiked the full 100 yards of it from the car to the overlook recently, and nary a blemish was to be found in the concrete.

If you’re talking about the other trail, which leads to the Snoqualmie River at the bottom of the canyon: It’s probably OK in March. However: Like every other trail within several hundred miles of Westlake Center, expect torrents of rain, inches of mud and angry swarms of banana slugs.
