Weeks Falls is a waterfall on the South fork of the Snoqualmie River, located just south of Interstate 90 at exit 38. The falls are at the end of the road that goes past the Olallie State Park ranger headquarters. From the gravel parking lot, there is a paved accessible overlook to see the falls and a small area around the hydro-electric plant. Also, there is a 1/4 mile accessible interpretive trail nearby.
Weeks Falls has a small hydroelectric plant operated by CHI West which generates about 4.3 Megawatts peak. It's unusual because it operates without a dam. Instead, water is being drawn from the river above Upper Weeks Falls and run down a channel to the generation unit at Weeks falls.

Famous quotes containing the words weeks and/or falls:
“Our security depends on the Allied Powers winning against aggressors. The Axis Powers intend to destroy democracy, it is anathema to them. We cannot provide that aid if the public are against it; therefore, it is our responsibility to persuade the public that aid to the victims of aggression is aid to American security. I expect the members of my administration to take every opportunity to speak to this issue wherever they are invited to address public forums in the weeks ahead.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“Abide with me: fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide:”
—Henry Francis Lyte (1793–1847)
