Actually the Olympics rise steeply from the ocean to 8000'/2400m not 
unlike the Rockies' rise from the inland plateau. And they do it in a 
shorter distance as anyone who has hiked them can attest. The Rockies 
span nearly an entire continent though and the Olympics a smallish 
peninsula but give 'em a few tens of millions of years :-)

The Olympics have much to do with the fine sunsets around here. They 
create a small rainshadow amidst the downpour and a break in the clouds 
for the sun to shine through.
