Buell Peak[3] is a small 5,756 ft (1,754 m) summit located in Mount Rainier National Park in Pierce County of Washington state.

The peak's toponym honors John Latimore Buell who arrived in Orting, Washington, in 1890 and went into the hardware business.

[4] Buell Peak is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.

[5] Most weather fronts originating in the Pacific Ocean travel northeast toward the Cascade Mountains.

As a result, the west side of the Cascades experiences high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall.
