Description
WikipediaRussian Butte is a double-peak summit located in King County of Washington state. It is located at the western edge of the Cascade Range on land managed by Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Precipitation runoff from Russian Butte drains into tributaries of the Snoqualmie River. Russian Butte is more notable for its large, steep rise above local terrain than for its absolute elevation. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises nearly 4,300 feet (1,311 meters) above the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River in 1.5 mile (2.4 km). The nearest higher officially named peak is Preacher Mountain, 3.29 miles (5.29 km) to the east. Little Comrade is a small peak one-half mile to the south-southwest of Russian Butte.
