Mount Scott is a 5,913-foot (1,802-metre) mountain summit located within Olympic National Park in Jefferson County of Washington state.

[3] Mount Scott is part of the Bailey Range, which is a subrange of the Olympic Mountains, and is set within the Daniel J. Evans Wilderness.

Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 4,300 feet (1,310 m) above the Elwha Valley in approximately two miles.

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.

This peak was named by the 1889–90 Seattle Press Expedition for James Wilmot Scott, editor and publisher of the Chicago Herald, a newspaper he started in 1881.
