To experience small-town life in the USA, I rented a car and headed out into the countryside of Washington State. In the idyllic town of North Bend, I visited Twede’s Cafe, the world-famous diner from the Twin Peaks movie. After that, I continued my journey to Snoqualmie to explore some of Washington’s beautiful nature.
