Английская Википедия:Hills in the Puget Lowland
Hills in the Puget Lowland, between the Cascades and the Olympic Mountains, including the entire Seattle metropolitan area, are generally between Шаблон:Convert and rarely more than Шаблон:Convert above sea level. Hills are often notable geologically and for social reasons, such as the seven hills of Seattle.
Formation
The Puget Lowland lies between the Cascades and Olympic Mountains and once contained a plateau of glacial till not usually more than Шаблон:Convert above sea level.[1][2][3] The plateau, "the most prominent single landform of the entire region",Шаблон:Sfn was dissected by glacial outwash, forming present-day landforms: rivers, creeks and streams; glacial lakes such as Lake Washington; and numerous kettle lakes, and Puget Sound itself. High points on the plateau remain, most of which are a drumlin (rocky glacial debris), or a bedrock intrusion that predated glaciation. Hills above 500 feet are considered exceptional.Шаблон:Efn
Notable lowlands hills
Hills are glacial deposits unless otherwise noted. King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties run up to the crest of the Cascades where their high points reside; therefore, the Cascades and attached foothills are excluded. Likewise for Thurston County in the Mount Rainier area, and Mason County's Olympic Mountains foothills.
North Sound
Landforms north of the Tacoma Narrows (Island, King, Kitsap, Pierce and Snohomish counties)
Island County
Whidbey Island and Camano Island are islands in Puget Sound and form the bulk of Island County.
- Whidbey Island high point, Шаблон:Convert[4] unnamed peak 500 meters from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island
- Camano Island high point, Шаблон:Convert unnamed peak, the lowest high point of any Washington county[5]
King County
- Finn Hill, Шаблон:Convert altitude[6]
- Rose Hill;[7] Forbes Creek origin, Шаблон:Convert, Kirkland's high point[8] (also see Bridle Trails State Park)
- Novelty Hill, Redmond's high point at Шаблон:Circa Шаблон:Convert[9]
- Seattle
- High Point, West Seattle, the highest point in the city at Шаблон:Convert
- Seven hills of Seattle
- First Hill, nicknamed "Pill Hill" because of the many hospitals and clinics located there
- Yesler Hill
- Renton Hill
- Denny Hill – regraded, now called the Denny Regrade
- Capitol Hill

Kitsap County
Шаблон:Main The Blue Hills of the Kitsap Peninsula are unusual in that they are composed of basalt bedrock, not glacial till.Шаблон:Sfn
- Gold Mountain, Шаблон:Convert (Kitsap County h.p. & city of Bremerton watershed on mountain contains city h.p.)
- Green Mountain, Шаблон:Convert
Bainbridge Island is an island in Puget Sound.
- Toe Jam Hill, Bainbridge Island's high point, Шаблон:Convert
Pierce County
- South Hill above Puyallup, Шаблон:Convert[10]
- Argonne Forest hills at Fort Lewis, formed of multiple layers of till deposited during Vashon glaciation; some hills may overlie drumlins from an earlier glacial phase.[11] Hills are designated critical habitat for the Northern Spotted Owl, an endangered species whose forest habitat in the Puget Lowland has been largely destroyed.[12]
Snohomish County
- Bald Hill, Шаблон:Convert
- Lake Serene Hill, Lynnwood[7] Шаблон:Convert[21]
- Clearview Hill,[7] Шаблон:Convert altitude[22]
South Puget Sound
Landforms in South Puget Sound (Thurston and Mason counties)
- Black Hills, southwest of Olympia, basalt bedrock, high point Шаблон:Convert. Bedrock comes to shore of Puget Sound at Mud Bay.[23]
- Kamilche Hill Шаблон:Convert, Mason County above Little Skookum Inlet
Low mountains
The Issaquah Alps Bellevue, Issaquah and Newcastle on the Eastside are considered part of the Cascades foothills by many authors.Шаблон:Efn They are basalt intrusions possibly related to the Blue Hills of the Kitsap Peninsula. Highest point Tiger Mountain summit, Шаблон:Convert.
The Anacortes Community Forest Lands contain several peaks over Шаблон:Convert high, including the Fidalgo Island high point, Шаблон:Convert Mount Erie.
Mason County's Olympic Mountains foothills are called the Satsop Hills.
