Review:
Poo Poo Point is a bald peak on a shoulder of West Tiger Mountain, ending in a small knoll topped by a mast with a windsock. While only a few feet higher than the surrounding land, the knoll is considered the true Poo Poo Point, one of West Tiger's summits. The curious name comes from the sound of steam whistle commonly heard on the mountain in the days when logging was at its peak. The area around Poo Poo was logged as recent as 1970s, resulting in a clear area now used for launching paragliders. The Point also offers a breathtaking view across Issaquah and Lake Sammamish, towards downtown Bellevue. To the west, the view opens to Squak and Cougar Mountains, with a glimpse of Seattle's skyline in the background. The trailhead to Poo Poo Mountain is located in Issaquah, on Second Avenue. Keep an eye on wildlife, you might spot a cougar or bear if you are lucky.
