Steam returns to the Upper Snoqualmie Valley for the summer this 4th of July! Travel back in time to July 4, 1889 at the Northwest Railway Museum this Fourth of July weekend aboard a Steam Train. On July 4, 1889 the inaugural passenger excursion train arrived in Snoqualmie from Seattle. Coordinated by the M.E. Church Society over the lines of the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern Railway Company, that first train brought tourists from Seattle to Snoqualmie Falls and back in just one day. Exactly 126 years later, the Northwest Railway Museum continues the tradition of train excursions to Snoqualmie Falls.
This 4th of July weekend, steam trains will run again in the upper Snoqualmie Valley. Find out how it felt to ride a steam train just like those first tourists did in 1889 on July 4-5. Steam trains run every weekend, all summer long through Labor Day Monday (with the exception of Day Out With Thomas on July 10-12 & July 17-19.)
