Snoqualmie Falls drive

I will be visiting Seattle in November and would like to take a short day trip. I was thinking maybe Snoqualmie Falls. I have a phobia of driving over water (love looking at it...go figure!) I can handle it over wide interstate lanes, its just those narrow roads that terrify me. My son is not old enough to drive the rental car. I see from a youtube video that there is one small bridge I would have to cross. It's hard to tell from time lapse but anyone know how long it is? I think I could handle if I can cross in under a minute, lol. If not, any other suggestions?

Coming off Snoqualmie Parkway, there's a short bridge on SR 202 just before town, maybe 100-200 feet long(?). I'd guess it would probably take around 10 seconds to cross it. It's not especially narrow either.

Millions have made the trip without incident.

Seattle is surrounded by water. It isn't possible to suggest a day trip in which no bridge is involved.

Even a trip to the zoo requires crossing a bridge.

Agreeing with the post above. Even within the city proper, there are bridges all over the place (because of the amount of water we have in the region)... Aurora Bridge, Fremont Bridge, Montlake Bridge, West Seattle Bridge, Ballard Bridge, 520-bridge...

I know I need therapy, lol. I live on an island for goodness sake! It's more when I feel isolated and no one is around. Anyway, thank you for the information and I am totally looking forward to visiting beautiful Seattle.
