Check out the Fisher Chimneys route on Mt. Shuksan. It is one of the finest moderate routes in the range and is like a grand tour of the Bernese Oberland.

As for rock climbing, smith rock is probably the best rock climbing within 700 miles of Seattle.

I started climbing last summer and the North Twin Sister was my first one. Great day, full of variety: bike up logging roads, exposed class 3/4 scramble on great rock, glissade down the north face, bike down to the car. Go earlier in the season so the north face is snow, rather than scree.

Also: Shuksan, Sahale, Eldorado, Temple/High Priest (Enchantments area)...
