The Snoqualmie Point Park is part of the Snoqualmie Valley.

The Snoqualmie Valley is an agricultural and forestry region along the Snoqualmie River in western Washington state . The valley extends from the confluence of the three source rivers (English "forks") at North Bend to the confluence of the Snoqualmie River in the Skykomish River . This forms the Snohomish River near Monroe . The flow route also includes the Snoqualmie Falls . Towns in the valley are North Bend, Snoqualmie , Preston , Fall City , Carnation and Duvall . The valley is home to the Skykomish / Skai-whamish , a band of the Snoqualmie.

At the end of the 19th century, hops were the main crop in the region.

The valley is the ancestral home of the Snoqualmie . The name Snoqualmie comes from the indigenous word for the "creator moon" and is rooted in the creation myth of Snoqualmie.
