The Olympic Mountains are a mountain range on the Olympic Peninsula of western Washington in the
United States. The mountains, part of the Pacific Coast Ranges, are not especially high – Mount
Olympus is the highest at 7,962 ft (2,427 m); however, the eastern slopes rise out of Puget Sound and
the western slopes are separated from the Pacific Ocean by the 20 to 35 km (12 to 22 mi) wide Pacific
Ocean coastal plain. The western slopes are the wettest place in the 48 contiguous states. Most of the
mountains are protected within the bounds of the Olympic National Park. ~ Wikipedia
