The end of the year is all about top-ten lists.
In addition to our upcoming post on the top stories of 2023, as many readers know, the active Living Snoqualmie Instagram page shares many photos of the beautiful Snoqualmie Valley… some are from local photographers. We take a few, and some are from stories on the page.
At the end of this year, we tracked the total “likes” of all photos shared on Instagram – as compiled within their insights – to rank the top 10 pictures.
We hope people will continue to share photos with us in 2024 on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. Send them to any of our social media platforms or email info@livingsnoqualmie.com.
