Ernie's Grove is a small, quiet community in King County, Washington, United States. It's not a big city but a special kind of place called an "unincorporated community." This means it doesn't have its own local government like a city does. It's located close to the North Fork of the Snoqualmie River, not far from the city of Snoqualmie.
A Look Back at Ernie's Grove
Ernie's Grove has an interesting past. From about 1915 to 1940, it was a popular spot for people to visit. It worked as a campground and a place with cabins for rent. People from the big city of Seattle would come here to relax and get away from busy city life.
Fun Times at the Grove
Many visitors would set up their tents and camp at Ernie's Grove. On weekends, families could pay just 25 cents to drive through a special log archway. This archway was located at 440th Avenue Southeast. After driving through, people would find a nice spot for a Saturday or Sunday picnic. It was a simple way to enjoy nature.
Cozy Cabins by the River
There were also small cabins built along the North Fork of the Snoqualmie River. These cabins were very popular! Sometimes, they would be completely booked for several weeks in a row. Some families even rented them for the entire summer. It was a perfect escape for those looking for a longer stay in the peaceful outdoors.
