Mount Christie is a prominent massif in Washington’s Olympic Mountains, within Olympic National Park, on a divide between waters flowing to the Elwha and Quinault rivers. Named for James Halbold Christie, leader of the Seattle Press Expedition, it is tied to the exploration of the Olympic interior in 1889–1890, when much of the range was still unmapped to outsiders. The mountain includes several peaks rather than a single summit, and Christie Glacier in the north cirque below the main summit is one of its defining features. Its rugged character is shaped by a marine west coast climate that brings heavy precipitation, winter snow, and avalanche-prone wet maritime snow.
