Fall City is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in King County, Washington, United States, 25 miles (40 km) east of Seattle.

[3] The first settlements in the area were two forts built in 1856 during the Puget Sound War to protect future settlers against possible uprisings by the native population.

A historical marker can be found north of Fall City on the Fish Hatchery Road where Fort Tilton once stood.

A trading post was established near the present-day location of the Last Frontier Saloon in 1869 and became a hub of the local economy.

Fall City was known at the time as "The Landing", as shallow water and rapids upstream on the Snoqualmie were impassable to the large dugout canoes used to transport goods.

When the Sunset Highway connecting Seattle with eastern Washington through Fall City was improved in the early 1910s, it further accelerated the area's economic and residential development.

The Great Depression, followed by gasoline rationing during World War II, hurt Fall City's tourist trade.

Tourism was further hampered after the war as U.S. Highway 10 (now Interstate 90) was rerouted south directly from Preston to North Bend, bypassing Fall City and Snoqualmie.

Fall City is bisected by State Route 202, a highway that traverses part of the Snoqualmie Valley between Woodinville and North Bend.

[14] The community has limited public transit service provided by Snoqualmie Valley Transportation, which operates a shuttle from North Bend to Duvall with funding from King County Metro.
