Cougar Mountain
Elevation 1,550 feet (472 m)[1]
Location King County, Washington, United States
Range Issaquah Alps
Coordinates 47°31′35.0″N 122°05′31.3″W / 47.52639°N 122.092028°W / 47.52639; -122.092028[1]

The lowest and westernmost of the Issaquah Alps, Cougar Mountain is a zone of highlands in suburban Seattle, Washington, rising abruptly from southeast of the intersection of I-90 and I-405. About two-thirds of Cougar Mountain has experienced residential development, and is home to many neighborhood communities such as Lakemont, but the forested heart of the hills was officially preserved by King County in June 1983 as Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park. Cougar Mountain is also home to the Cougar Mountain Zoo.

Geology

Cougar Mountain was formed in the Miocene when western Washington folded along a northwest axis, because of tectonic forces. These forces created the Newcastle Anticline that formed the shape of Cougar Mountain. The anticline exposed earlier (Eocene to Oligocene) sedimentary and volcanic rocks that are now exposed at the surface of Cougar Mountain, due to erosion. The northern edge of Cougar Mountain is distinct, due to the Seattle Fault, which runs along I-90. The Seattle Fault caused a large earthquake approximately 1100 years ago.[2]

Ecology

Cougar Mountain is part of the Eastern Puget Uplands level IV ecoregion, as defined by the EPA.[3] This ecoregion is a transition between the ecology of the Puget Sound and the forests of the Cascades. Ecologically speaking, Cougar Mountain is thus more similar to the Sammamish Plateau, rather than the rest of the Issaquah Alps.

Cougar Mountain contains species and habitats that were once common closer to Puget Sound. Extensive logging has modified the ecosystem and has rendered it less diverse than its original state.[3]
