Mount Si (pronounced sigh) is a small mountain in the U.S. state of Washington. Although just 4,167 ft (1,270 m) high, it lies on the western margin of the Cascade Range just above the coastal plains around Puget Sound, and towers over the nearby town of North Bend. The mountain was named after local homesteader Josiah "Uncle Si" Merritt. It was made famous in the show Twin Peaks, which was filmed in North Bend.
Only about a 45-minute drive from Seattle, the mountain is a favorite outdoor destination for Puget Sound locals. On most summer days one can count numerous hikers on the trail to the summit. Mount Si gets between 80,000-100,000 hikers annually.[1]
The trail climbs 3,200 ft (3,500 ft including the "Haystack") in about 4 miles (6.4 km), making it an ideal conditioning trip, and it is open during the winter and spring when most of the Cascades are snowed in. Hikers wanting extra exercise will carry up jugs of water in backpacks, then empty them at the top so as to reduce knee stress on the walk down.
The trail only goes as far as the summit ridge at the base of the "Haystack". The ascent of the Haystack to the actual summit is a short but somewhat exposed scramble and not recommended in wet or snowy conditions.

One summer I did spend a night up top. The view of the lights was stunning.

I've had lunch on top of the Haystack more times than I can remember. In the 80's & early 90's I climbed it 10-15x a year, up the original trail, branching off from Little Si seeing no one till it met up with the main trail 2/3rds of the way up. The last time was the last time. Despite the "Dogs must be on a Leash" signs in the parking lot, It is a DNR Conservation area. I was forced off the trail 33 times by aggressive off leash dogs before I reached the top.
