The forecast was calling for snow in the Cascade Mountains and I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really want to hike near Snoqualmie Pass because of the first snow of the year could cause a few headaches.  Mt. Washington was the chosen one&#8230;a not too hard and not too easy type of hike.  If you are looking for a secluded hike and close to Seattle, Mt. Washington will accomplish the task.<\/p>\n<p>Trail started of wet and eventually we were tromping in snow; it was about a foot deep by the time we reached the summit.  Linna cooked up some homemade tomato soup that I warmed up with my MSR stove for everyone at the top.  After the hike the group had dinner at one of our favorite Korean restaurants.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mt.
