Mount Olympus is the tallest and most prominent mountain in the Olympic Mountains of western Washington state. Located on the Olympic Peninsula, it is the central feature of Olympic National Park. Mount Olympus is the highest summit of the Olympic Mountains, however, peaks such as Mount Constance, on the eastern margin of the range, are more visible from the Seattle metropolitan area. With notable local relief, it ascends over 2,100 m from the 293 m elevation confluence of the Hoh River with Hoh Creek in only 8.8 km. Mount Olympus has 7,829 ft of prominence, ranking 5th in the state of Washington.

Due to heavy winter snowfalls, Mount Olympus supports large glaciers, despite its modest elevation and relatively low latitude. These glaciers include Blue, Hoh, Humes, Jeffers, Hubert, and White, the longest of which is Hoh at 3.06 miles. The largest is Blue with a volume of 0.14 cubic miles and area of 2.05 square miles.
