The Chuckanut Mountains (from "Chuckanut", an indigenous word meaning "long beach far from a narrow entrance"[1]), or Chuckanuts, are located on the northern Washington state coast of the Salish Sea, just south of Bellingham, Washington, United States. Being a part of the Cascade Range, they are the only place where the Cascades come west down to meet the sea. The Chuckanuts are considered to be a part of the Puget Lowland Forest Ecoregion.

The range contains Larrabee State Park, the first State Park to be designated in Washington (1923). Its mountains include:

  • Anderson Mountain
  • Blanchard Mountain
  • Chuckanut Mountain (including North Chuckanut Mountain, South Chuckanut Mountain, and Chuckanut Ridge)
  • Galbraith Mountain (also known as North Lookout Mountain)
  • King Mountain
  • Lookout Mountain
  • Sehome Hill
  • Squalicum Mountain
  • Stewart Mountain
  • Toad Mountain
