| This flat plateau top is the highest point in the area south and west of the Snohomish River, and north of the Seattle Ship Canal, Lake Washington, and the Sammamish River. "Lake Serene Hill" has a line parent of Union Hill, east of Redmond, and it has just over 300 feet of prominence, giving it the status of a "real peak" by most standards.
The high ground is a somewhat bleak area of auto-repair and body shops, dominated by the busy 7 lanes of Highway 99. See the attached aerial photo, showing the 640-foot contour. The highest area on the west side of the highway does appear to be in the busy and crowded parking lot of Speedway Automotive. The northwest lobe of the contour, in a forest area full of trash, seemed lower. One could, in theory, claim the peak by driving the road, but it is usually proper to at least get one's feet on the ground somewhere.
However, the most attractive candidate spot might be on the east side of the highway, in the grassy area on the grounds of the water tower complex. Access to this point is from 35th Avenue West, where a driveway goes through a gate into the water tower area. This gate appears to be open during business hours on weekdays. A sign asks visitors to check in, but one could wander in and quickly hike up the obvious grassy berm north of the office building (the eastern projection of the 640-foot contour). From the top of that, one appears to be higher than the highway and perhaps the auto shops, too. |
