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:
“When over Catholics the ocean rolls,
They must wait several weeks before a mass
Takes off one peck of purgatorial coals,
Because, till people know what’s come to pass,
They won’t lay out their money on the dead—
It costs three francs for every mass that’s said.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Life at the greatest and best is but a froward child, that must be humoured and coaxed a little till it falls asleep, and then all the care is over.”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1728–1774)
