Mount Octopus

Mount Octopus is a 2,444-foot (745 m) peak in the western Olympic Mountains foothills, in Jefferson County, Washington a few miles from Olympic Corrections Center.

The Snahapish River is at the base of the mountain to its east.

It was removed from its tower by Corrections Center inmates in preparation to move it to the Forks Timber Museum, but it burned before being moved.

It filled gaps in emergency coverage for communities on the Olympic Peninsula, many of whom had no radio coverage from Puget Sound transmitters, and for oceangoing craft near the Pacific coast of Washington.
