The Mountain Creek Tree Farm is located in the North Fork of the Snoqualmie River valley between North Bend and Snoqualmie. The feel is definitely mountainous with Mt. Si's moon wall looming just to the east. However, the elevation is pretty low so snow is rare, but come dressed for wet weather as it's often either raining or has just rained.
The narrow drive in can sometimes be a bit dicey when cars are parked along the shoulder, but usually there's sufficient parking in either the main area or the secondary lot. Saws are provided, but to prove your manliness bring your own.
The farm is divided into three areas by the parking area and a small creek that runs at the base of a hill. I've had the best luck finding trees to the east of the parking area where the nobles grow tall. The trees are typically a little larger than at some of the other North Bend farms, but they also have smaller trees if that better fits your space or taste.
Inside the small office are a few knick knacks as well as candy canes and hot drinks.
Pay the extra couple of bucks to have your tree bound and bring a wet cloth to cover the exposed stump. Cut an inch off when you get home and your tree will do much better.
