The Pacific Northwest

A place both wonderful and strange…

photos & videos by Carson Maestas


The diversity of the PNW makes it one of the most special places on earth. From the rocky cliffs of Neah Bay,
to the high desert of Bend, Oregon, there is something for everyone…
As the environment slowly changes, it is my mission to document what makes this place beautiful.

David Lynch got it right…
The hauntingly beautiful landscapes of the Snoqualmie Valley draw the attention and curiosity of visitors from around the world.
Whether it’s the roaring waters of the Falls, the captivating charm of Downtown, or the rugged slopes of our majestic Mt. Si, the features of Snoqualmie distinguish it from the rest of Washington. The unique attractions make for wonderful memories that deserve to be portrayed in a way that makes these special places as unique as your personal experience with them.

Being unconstrainted by gravity offers a chance to see views of the valley you can’t get from the ground…

  • A relic from a bygone era… The Weyerhaeuser Lumber Mill was decommissioned in 2003. The Smokestack remains.

  • The iconic Double R.

  • Snow rarely stays around for long at these lower elevations. Opportunities to capture fresh snowfall are hard to come by. See my take on a Twin Peaks winter opener.

The 2022 weather inversion was a remarkable moment to capture a few breathtaking views.

Meet Carson, a Snoqualmie local…

Burnt out from working in the Seattle tech industry for the last 10 years, Carson started exploring his creative passion for capturing and presenting the Pacific Northwest in new and unique ways. You’ll find him at the local watering holes around the valley if he’s not out flying his drone…

His Moniker is meant to convey that he doesn’t take himself too seriously…
