This article is about mountains in the state. For mountains in the District of Columbia, see List of mountain peaks of Washington, D.C.

This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks[1] of the U.S. State of Washington.

Thumb
The day before its 1980 eruption, Mount St. Helens was the fifth highest major summit of Washington.
Thumb
Today, Mount St. Helens is the 35th highest major summit of the state.

The summit of a mountain or hill may be measured in three principal ways:

  1. The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level.[2][3] The first table below ranks the 100 highest major summits of Washington by elevation.
  2. The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.[4][3] The second table below ranks the 50 most prominent summits of Washington.
  3. The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.[5] The third table below ranks the 25 most isolated major summits of Washington.
