Tiger Mountain

Legacy Forest

Located on the ancestral lands of the Snoqualmie Tribe in King County, the Tiger Mountain Legacy Forest is one of the largest at-risk legacy forests in Western Washington. It contains small waterfalls, old-growth Douglas firs and incredible structural complexity. Spend time in this mature forest ecosystem and you will find it contains multiple canopy layers, composed of a wide variety of trees of different sizes. Gaps in the overstory canopy allow sunlight to reach the forest floor, creating a complex mosaic of different plant communities composed of a diverse array of small trees, shrubs and wildflowers. Standing dead trees and logs provide critical nesting habitat for small mammals, and countless other forms of life.
