Treen Peak is a 5,765-foot-elevation (1,757-meter) mountain summit in King County of Washington state. It is located along the western edge of the Cascade Range and is set within the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, on land managed by Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into tributaries of the Snoqualmie River. Treen Peak is more notable for its large, steep rise above local terrain than for its absolute elevation. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises over 4,150 feet (1,265 meters) above the Taylor River in 1.5 mile. The mountain's toponym was officially adopted on May 6, 1941, by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names to honor Lewis A. Treen (1885–1937), former Assistant Supervisor of Snoqualmie National Forest, who died on February 13, 1937. The probable first ascent of the summit was not made until April 1974 by Jan Anthony, Joan Webber, and Mike Bialos.
