Mount Washington is outside the Olympic National Park (but in the Olympic National Forest) … but it is visible from Seattle as one of the two major peaks (along with Mt Ellinor) on the south end of the western skyline. I took this from the shoulder of Mt Ellinor … which has a trail to its summit and I have been up Ellinor a number of times (along with thousands of others … some carrying coolers and “boom boxes”). If you go in the off season, you can still find solitude… or at least more so than in summer. I have not been up Mt Washington, however. It is a more technical climb … although still in the ‘easy’ category.
Love this perspective of Mt W.
