For a pretty view, an alternative route or to avoid the floods or traffic that sometime occurs in Fall City - - - try this as an alternative way to the Heavenly Spa in Fall City...

1. Stay on hwy 90 going eastbound past the usual Preston/Fall City Exit and take the NEXT exit which is exit #25 and labeled "The Snoqualmie Parkway Hwy 18 Exit"

2. At the bottom of this exit, turn left onto the Snoqualmie Parkway. You'll stay on this road for about 3.8 miles.

3. Stay on it and enjoy the housing developments and shopping centers and view - it'll travel through a few stop lights as it cruises along for 3.8 miles and then it'll end at a stoplight (stay in your left lane as you are coming up to this light).

4. At this stoplight, which is the junction of 202/railroad avenue SE, go LEFT.

5. You will travel past the Snoqualmie Falls on your left in half a mile and the road will change names to the Snoqualmie/Fall City road (and it is also still hwy 202). Then you'll squiggle down the hill and as you see the river appear on your left, you'll see the sign for All Pets Go To Heaven on your right. About 3.7 miles from the time you made that left hand turn off the parkway - - -

Poof! You have arrived at the Fall City pool and have avoided the flooding valleys ...
