Many of the exterior shots for David Lynch’s Twin Peaks television series and movie (Fire Walk later than Me) were filmed in Snoqualmie and in the neighboring towns of North Bend and Fall City. Movie actress Ella Raines was born on August 6, 1920, in Snoqualmie Falls, a mill town across the Snoqualmie River that is now allocation of Snoqualmie.

The second written LP of the exploration of the Snoqualmie Valley comes from the comments of Samuel Hancock, who ventured up-river following the Snoqualmie tribe in 1851 in search of coal. Near the current location of Meadowbrook Bridge, Hancock was told by his guides that the house was known as Hyas Kloshe Illahee, or “good/productive land”. Hancock took this useful information support with him to the Place now known as Tacoma.

During the 1850s, tensions were very tall between the native populations and the extra settlers claiming the house as their own. In 1856, in salutation to these tensions, Fort Alden was built in the area that would become Snoqualmie. No alliances were made surrounded by the tribes in the east and the tribes in the west, and Fort Alden was abandoned (along with extra forts built roughly this time).

The most thriving early explorer in the Valley was Jeremiah Borst, who arrived in the spring of 1858 over the Cedar River trail from the eastern side of the mountains. He contracted in the Place that formerly held Fort Alden, and used his sales of pigs and apples in Seattle to buy out much of the surrounding estate from supplementary settlers.
