Just north of North Bend (and south of Snoqualmie Falls) is the city of Snoqualmie. There's more here than meets the eye... The obvious is the great log which again features in the show's title sequence (without shelter).
It's clear it's become a little touristy as the main street is littered with cafes and restaurants that exceed its size. Snoqualmie is also home to the Northwest Railway Museum.
On weekends, a reconditioned train runs up to North Bend, then down to the falls (though sadly there isn't a good view of the falls themselves - just the top and the lodge and downstream). If you're at the falls, you can just make out the train up in the hills if you're there at the right time.
You might recall the old carriages and railway line from the Twin Peaks pilot.
