Colquhoun Peak is a 5,173-foot-elevation (1,577-meter) mountain summit located in the southeast corner of King County in Washington state. It is set on land managed by Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. It is situated 3.1 mi (5.0 km) southeast of Kelly Butte and three miles west of the crest of the Cascade Range. Precipitation runoff from Colquhoun Peak drains into tributaries of the Greenwater River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises nearly 2,800 feet (850 meters) above the river in 1.5 mile. It once hosted a fire lookout tower.
