There are some great reasons to go to Snow Lake. It's absolutely gorgeous. It's easy to get to, only an hour's drive from Seattle, and the trailhead is just two miles from I-90. The trailhead's also a ski resort in winter, so there's plenty of parking - not much risk of getting there and finding it's full.
These are the same reasons NOT to go to Snow Lake. Because 10,000 other people go there each summer. What that means in practice is you never go at the weekend, and you never go during the school holidays. It's a trip to make in June when the snow first disappears or at the tail end of the hiking season when most people are at work. You'll still meet a bunch of people on the trail, but thinly enough spread that you can enjoy the mountains.
