Railroad Creek

Last updated

Railroad Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of Washington. [1] It flows into Lake Chelan in the unincorporated community of Lucerne.

Railroad Creek was so named on account it was proposed a railroad should be built near its course, however this project did not materialize. [2] The 1946 MGM film, Courage of Lassie was shot on location here, near Holden. [3]

The Snoqualmie River is a 45-mile (72 km) long river in King County and Snohomish County in the U.S. state of Washington. The river's three main tributaries are the North, Middle, and South Forks, which drain the west side of the Cascade Mountains near the town of North Bend and join near the town of Snoqualmie just above the Snoqualmie Falls. After the falls the river flows north through rich farmland and the towns of Fall City, Carnation, and Duvall before meeting the Skykomish River to form the Snohomish River near Monroe. The Snohomish River empties into Puget Sound at Everett. Other tributaries of the Snoqualmie River include the Taylor River and the Pratt River, both of which enter the Middle Fork, the Tolt River, which joins at Carnation, and the Raging River at Fall City.
