Fall City is a friendly community in the Snoqualmie Valley located approximately 2 miles from TreeHouse Point. Many are surprised to hear that we are not truly a city, but are simply an unincorporated rural town nestled along the banks of the Snoqualmie and Raging Rivers.

Snoqualmie, located about 7 miles west of TreeHouse Point, is situated along the Snoqualmie River just above Snoqualmie Falls. The three forks of the river converge near the town to form Snoqualmie Falls, a spectacular 268-foot waterfall. Proximity to the gorgeous waterfall and to Snoqualmie pass made the community a popular stop for visitors, either by train or by road.

Located 7 miles west of TreeHouse Point, Issaquah is surrounded by Cougar, Squak, and Tiger Mountain. Issaquah was originally developed to service the mining industry; however, as the mining deposits neared depletion in the late 1890s, lucrative lumber businesses emerged. These companies exported timber from Issaquah to Seattle and other larger, rapidly growing communities throughout western Washington for many years. It was not until much later that Boeing, Microsoft, and Costco significantly impacted Issaquah's economy.

Located in the foothills of the Cascade Mountain Range, North Bend is located about 10 miles east of TreeHouse Point, situated in the upper valley of the Snoqualmie River. Native Americans resided in this area for thousands of years. By 1892, the town had a hotel, saloon, cobbler's shop, bank, and general store. North Bend received its name due to its location near the north bend of the South Fork of the Snoqualmie River. North Bend is home to a resident elk herd, numbering about 300-600 elk and was made famous by David Lynch's television series Twin Peaks in the early 1990's.

Carnation, located about 8 miles north of TreeHouse Point, is a rural farming community situated along the Snoqualmie, originally known as the town of Tolt. The confluence of the Tolt and Snoqualmie rivers was the main village site for the Snoqualmie tribe for thousands of years. Dairy farming was an economic staple for the Carnation area ever since the brush had been cleared, but Carnation Dairy put the town on the map. In fact, the valley became world-famous as the "Home for Contented Cows." One cow from the herd, nicknamed "Possum Sweetheart," produced more than 37,000 pounds of milk in one year -- a world record. From the late 1800's through 1951 the town of Carnation switched its name back and forth a number of times, before finally settling on the town name of Carnation.
