My cousin is visiting from Florida, and I took her to Snoqualmie Falls one afternoon after work.

Snoqualmie Falls is quite an impressive place... not the highest, but certainly one of the more picturesque places to visit.  Its very accessible, and is one of Washington's Most visited places... 1.5 million people a year take a look a the falls.

That number might be tainted a bit, because I'm sure I'm counted more than once in that number, and so are other people!  :-)
 

 
A short path takes you to the viewing platform

The view is pretty incredible! 
 

 
The river calmly reaches the top, then cascades over the top...

 
... and thunders into the waiting pool below!

The viewing stand is perched atop a knoll across from the falls... its a WAYS down, that's for sure! 

Since the highest point in Florida is about the height of the falls from the ocean, its safe to say that you can't see anything like that in Florida!
