The Northwest Railway Museum in Snoqualmie, Washington, preserves a Victorian-era railway heritage site centered on 5.5 miles of track built in 1889 by the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern Railway. Constructed as Seattle's ambitious response to the Northern Pacific's choice of Tacoma as a terminus, the line was intended to cross Snoqualmie Pass toward Walla Walla before the Northern Pacific acquired the railroad in 1901. Today the museum operates as a comprehensive heritage railway complex, encompassing a historic depot, exhibit hall, archive center, and two-track shop for equipment restoration, and attracts over 130,000 visitors annually. The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
