List of mountain peaks of Washington
This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks[1] of the U.S. State of Washington.
The summit of a mountain or hill may be measured in three principal ways:
- The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level.[2][3] The first table below ranks the 25 highest major summits of Washington by elevation.
- The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.[4][3] The second table below ranks the 25 most prominent summits of Washington.
- The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.[5] The third table below ranks the 25 most isolated major summits of Washington.
Highest major summits
Of the 25 highest major summits of Washington, Mount Rainier exceeds 4000 meters (13,123 feet) elevation, Mount Adams exceeds 3500 meters (11,483 feet), four peaks exceed 3000 meters (9843 feet) elevation, and all 25 peaks exceed 2500 meters (8202 feet) elevation.
Most prominent summits
Of the 25 most prominent summits of Washington, Mount Rainier exceeds 4000 meters (13,123 feet) of topographic prominence, five peaks exceed exceed 2000 meters (6562 feet), seven peaks are ultra-prominent summits with more than 1500 meters (4921 feet) of topographic prominence, 21 peaks exceed exceed 1000 meters (3281 feet), and all 25 peaks exceed 930 meters (3051 feet) of topographic prominence.
Most isolated major summits
Of the 25 most isolated major summits of Washington, Mount Rainier exceeds 1000 kilometers (621.4 miles) of topographic isolation, Mount Baker exceeds 200 kilometers (124.3 miles), Mount Olympus exceeds 100 kilometers (62.14 miles), and eight peaks exceed 50 kilometers (31.07 miles) of topographic isolation.

All summits in this article have at least 500 meters of topographic prominence. An ultra-prominent summit is a summit with at least 1500 meters (4921 feet) of topographic prominence.

- 1 2 If the elevation or prominence of a summit is calculated as a range of values, the arithmetic mean is shown.
- ↑ The topographic prominence of a summit is the topographic elevation difference between the summit and its highest or key col to a higher summit. The summit may be near its key col or quite far away. The key col for Denali in Alaska is the Isthmus of Rivas in Nicaragua, 7642 kilometers (4749 miles) away.
