Olympic Mountains
The Olympic Mountains rise on Washington's Olympic Peninsula west of Seattle, forming a distinct coastal range between Puget Sound and the Pacific Ocean.
Why go
The Olympic Mountains give Seattle's western views a useful geographic counterweight to the Cascades. Their eastern slopes rise from Puget Sound, while a coastal plain separates their western side from the Pacific. Permanent snow and ice occur at relatively low elevations because of the range's high precipitation, shaping a compact alpine zone.
What to look for
The Olympic Mountains rise from the Olympic Peninsula in western Washington.
The Olympic Mountains have permanent snow and ice at relatively low elevations for a temperate range.
