Rainer National Park.  The Forest covers portions of Whatcom, Skagit, Snohomish, King and Pierce Counties.   Together, these counties contain over 55 percent of the state's total population.  Nearly five million people live in or near the Puget Sound metropolitan area.  Another two million people live in southwest British Columbia and make frequent use of the Forest.  This coupled with the fact that four major mountain passes cross the Cascades through the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, makes this one of the most visited National Forests in the country.
