Fall around Seattle
If you’re into hiking and nature, yeah, we’ve got that. Nevermind that the tournament is literally right on the Green River and we’re the Evergreen state for a reason, cause we’ve got a couple of recommended out-of-Seattle waterfalls for you to visit!
Snoqualmie Falls- Hike around there or just go do the 1/4 mile hike down to the base. Just like any hike, flip flops are not recommended for this downhill adventure.
