USA Twin Falls
The Twin Falls is a really beautiful waterfall, which is around 90 minutes away from Seattle and definitely worth a visit if you like a little hike. The whole area in general looks really beautiful and the hike is not too difficult, but definitely exhausting because it goes up and down quite some times through the forest along the river.
It's a great additional travel destination if you are visiting Snoqualmie waterfalls and want to see a less touristic waterfall, since it's only around 30 minutes away.

Photography Tips
Use a polarizer and an ND filter to get a really nice contrast between the soft water and the very stony waterfall. Additionally a wide angle lens is very helpful at this spot, because you are very near just in front of the waterfall. You need around 20mm on a full frame camera to capture the waterfall with a little bit around it. Otherwise a vertical panorama might be a good solution.
Travel Information
The hike towards the Twin Falls is about 30-45 minutes from the marked parking place. The parking itself costs 10$ per day, which is the minimum you will have to pay. I would definitely recommend to pay this amount, since the park rangers seem to have a look at the different spots pretty often.
Enter "Twin Falls Trailhead" in your navigation system to make sure, that it will lead you to the parking place. GoogleMaps will just lead you to the interstate, if you didn't add the word "Trailhead".
