Squak Mountain

Squak Mountain is a prominent peak located in the Pacific Ranges mountain range, in the state of Washington, USA. With an elevation of approximately 2,024 feet (617 meters), it provides breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The mountain covers an area of about 2.7 square miles (7 square kilometers), making it a popular destination for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts.

During the winter season, Squak Mountain experiences a diverse snowpack range due to its elevation. The lower slopes may receive a light dusting of snow, while the higher elevations can accumulate significant amounts, creating ideal conditions for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. The mountain is also known for its numerous creeks and rivers that receive runoff from its melting snow during the spring and summer months. These water sources contribute to the diverse ecosystem and provide valuable habitats for various plant and animal species.

The name "Squak" is derived from the native Duwamish tribe's word "sqWaq," meaning "strong wind." This reflects the mountain's exposure to strong winds due to its location. While there may not be any specific legends or lore associated with Squak Mountain, its rich history dates back to the early 19th century when settlers began exploring the area. Today, Squak Mountain remains a popular recreational spot, offering visitors stunning panoramic views, diverse flora and fauna, and an opportunity to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the Pacific Ranges.
