Seymour Peak is a 6,337-foot-elevation (1,932 meter) mountain summit located in Mount Rainier National Park in Pierce County of Washington state.[3] It is part of the Cascade Range and is situated southeast of Cayuse Pass and northeast of Shriner Peak. Its nearest higher neighbor is Dewey Peak, 0.79 mi (1.27 km) to the east.[1] Precipitation runoff from Seymour Peak drains into tributaries of the Cowlitz River. Seymour Peak is named after William Wolcott Seymour (1861-1929), mayor of Tacoma, Washington, from 1911 to 1914. He was also a philanthropist, mountaineer, and a contributor to the scouting movement.[4] This landform's toponym was officially adopted in 1932 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.[3]
