Mount Childs is a 6,193-foot (1,888-metre) mountain summit in Olympic National Park in Jefferson County of Washington state.
Mount Childs is part of the Bailey Range, which is a subrange of the Olympic Mountains, and is set within the Daniel J. Evans Wilderness.
The first ascent of the summit was made August 6, 1961, by Doug Waali, Bob Wood, and Kent Heathershaw via the east slope.
[6] A peak was named by the Seattle Press Expedition to honor George William Childs (1829–1894), publisher of the Philadelphia Public Ledger newspaper.
As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks (orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snow.
