Mount Seattle

This article is about the mountain in Alaska/Yukon. For the mountain in Olympic National Park, see Mount Seattle (Washington).

Mount Seattle is a 10,350-foot (3,150 m) peak in the Saint Elias Mountains on the border of Alaska, United States and Yukon, Canada. It was named for the city of Seattle, home of the "camp hands" of a 19th-century National Geographic Society–United States Geological Survey scientific expedition to the Hubbard Glacier and Mount Saint Elias.^[4] It is called the "most prominent Alaskan coastal peak" and blocks sight of larger inland peaks, even Mount Logan nearly twice its height.^[5]
