Mount Washington, Mountain summit in Mason County, US

Mount Washington is a 6,260-foot (1,910 m) peak in the Olympic Mountains of Washington state, standing within the Mount Skokomish Wilderness in Mason County. Runoff from its slopes drains into the Hamma Hamma River and the Skokomish River.

Mount Washington lies within the Mount Skokomish Wilderness in the Olympic Mountains, a federal wilderness area where the land is left undeveloped. The mountain's runoff drains into two rivers, the Hamma Hamma and the Skokomish, which carry its precipitation down from the Olympic Range.

The name Washington recurs across the Olympic Peninsula, and this peak is distinguished from the better-known Mount Washington of the White Mountains by its setting in the Mount Skokomish Wilderness. The mountain lies within Mason County, and its runoff feeds two rivers: the Hamma Hamma and the Skokomish. Visitors who look at a map will see the peak's drainage divide separating these two watersheds.

Sturdy footwear and layered clothing are a good idea, as weather at higher elevations can change without much warning. Starting early in the day gives you more time on the trail before conditions shift.

Mount Washington stands 6,260 feet (1,910 m) high inside the Mount Skokomish Wilderness. Rain and snowmelt from its slopes drain into two separate rivers: the Hamma Hamma and the Skokomish. Its winter snow is wet and heavy because of the maritime influence, which creates avalanche danger on the mountain.
