USA Marymere Falls from Lower View
The Marymere Falls in the Olympic National Park is quite a nice stop if you are visiting the area anyway. The walk up there is pretty nice when you walk through the rainforest towards the waterfall.
This one is the lower view, which is just 2 minutes away from the upper view to the waterfall.
Important: Please make sure that you won't pass the railing at this place, because if you do, you will destroy the image for everybody else. If you really want to pass it, you will just have to be there during sunrise, when you are probably alone at this waterfall. Anything else is just disrespectful to other photographers and travelers, thank you!

Photography Tips
A tripod is highly recommended to get a sharp photo, because it's sometimes pretty dark in the woods, even during the day. You will benefit from using it even without planing to use ND filters, which can add a nice effect, but they won't change the image in a significant way, since the waterfall hasn't so much water.
A polarizer is really nice for this view though, so that you can remove the reflection from the water and focus the eye of the viewer even more towards the white floating waterfall.

Travel Information
You can leave your car near Lake Crescent Pier when you enter Lake Crescent Road. From there, the really nice trail will take you around 15 minutes to the Marymere Falls.
Sturdy shoes are recommended, but not a must as long as you stay on the left path up there, which has stairs. The other one hasn't and is therefor quite slippery with the wrong shoes.
The waterfall is around 2-3 hours away from Seattle.
