ESFSEW A series of atmospheric rivers will provide rounds of increasingly impactful rainfall starting on Friday and continuing through early next week. Snow levels will remain around 5000 to 6000 feet. Expect rising rivers with potential for flooding especially for rivers flowing off the Olympics and Cascades. Urban flooding and landslides are also possible throughout this period as the soil conditions remain wet.
Summary
With an elevation of 5,240 feet (1,597 meters), it offers a challenging yet rewarding climb for experienced mountaineers. The mountain is known for its striking rock formations, including the prominent Bandera Crest. The size of the mountain is relatively modest compared to other peaks in the Pacific Ranges.
During the winter season, Bandera Mountain receives a significant amount of snowfall. The snowpack range varies across different years, but it can reach several feet in depth, making it an ideal destination for winter sports enthusiasts. The mountain's snowpack contributes to the watershed system, which includes several creeks and rivers. The most notable one is the South Fork Snoqualmie River, which receives runoff from Bandera Mountain and its surrounding areas.
The name "Bandera" is derived from the Spanish term for "flag." The origin of the name is unclear, but some legends suggest that a group of surveyors planted a flag on the mountain during their exploration. While there may be interesting lore associated with Bandera Mountain, it is important to verify the accuracy of such stories through multiple independent sources.
