Mount Seattle, Mountain summit in Jefferson County, United States
Mount Seattle is a mountain summit in the Cascade Range located in Jefferson County, Washington, with dense coniferous forests covering its slopes. The peak features varied terrain ranging from forested lower elevations to more exposed rocky areas higher up.
The mountain was first documented climbed in the late 1800s, marking the start of recreational mountaineering in this area of Washington. Since then it has attracted climbers and hikers exploring the Cascade Range.
