Some peaks I like: Del Campo (class 4 stuff, you'll need an ice axe this time of year) and Gothic Peak (class 3), Hi Box (class 3).

 

Try these books for descriptions and ideas:

I was up at Sno Pass earlier this week (the nice day!) and there's a bunch of snow already, but not enough to make travel easier. That is, 4" - 2'. Anything requiring a boulder-field traverse with that kind of coverage would be harrowing right now. If you've got some 4th class climbing to do, make sure it's on South facing rock.

 

Obviously snow cover will vary depending on location, but all those lovely Snoqualmie Pass 3rd and 4th class jaunts are a little out of condition at the moment. Though it did precipitate again on Wed, and now the temps are much colder....

North twin sister up by bellingham is a great 4th class climb with some killer views. The north buttress on Colchuck peak is also a really enjoyable route in the 3rd/4th range. Both can be done in a reasonable day. Sahale is good to, and I hear there's a nice route on Mix-up peak, though I haven't done that one.
