Chuckanut Mountains
The Chuckanut Mountains (from "Chuckanut", an indigenous word meaning "long beach far from a narrow entrance"), or Chuckanuts, are located on the northern Washington state coast of the Salish Sea, just south of Bellingham, Washington. Being a part of the Cascade Range, they are the only place where the Cascades come west down to meet the sea. The Chuckanuts are considered to be a part of the Puget Lowland Forest Ecoregion.
The range contains Larrabee State Park, the first State Park to be designated in Washington (1923). Its mountains include:
- Anderson Mountain
- Blanchard Mountain
- Chuckanut Mountain (including North Chuckanut Mountain, South Chuckanut Mountain, and Chuckanut Ridge)
- Galbraith Mountain (also known as North Lookout Mountain)
- King Mountain
- Lookout Mountain
- Sehome Hill
