Every year, a few posts rise to the top. Sometimes it’s a moment that made people stop scrolling. Sometimes it’s something familiar, surprising, or just very Snoqualmie Valley. This list looks back at the Instagram posts that people responded to most in 2025.
They span all kinds of moments from across the Valley. Some are tied to stories covered during the year, others came from community members who shared what they were seeing in real time. Together, they offer a small snapshot of what caught people’s attention, sparked reactions, or felt worth passing along.
Thank you to everyone who sends in tips, photos, and messages, or tags Living Snoqualmie when something catches their eye. That shared perspective is what keeps this space feeling local and alive.

Thank you for reading, engaging, and contributing throughout 2025. We look forward to continuing to share the Valley’s stories and images in the year ahead.
Editor’s Note: I usually put together a separate year end roundup based purely on website traffic, but it became clear very quickly what that list would look like. It would have been wall to wall coverage of the SR18/Diverging Diamond project, and after a year of updates, delays, detours, and strong opinions, revisiting that entire saga did not feel necessary. The information is there. The memories are fresh. No one needs a greatest hits compilation of that particular experience.
