Geology?
To anyone who knows enough to be dangerous: can you find, source, and add information about the geology of the range? Travisl (talk) 00:21, 14 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Seven years later: Sure! I have noticed some questionable stuff, including citation of transient material (from here) that is long gone. I will remove that, and, depending how quickly I can go through my sources, try to rework some of the rest. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 21:12, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Geographical wording
I'm not sure I agree with this statement in the introduction: "...the western slopes of the Olympics rise directly out of the Pacific Ocean..." If you look at the topography of the western Olympic Peninsula, compared to Vancouver Island or the Lost Coast, CA, I think that the western Olympics may be better described as rising "directly out of the Pacific coastal plain" or "Pacific coastal lowlands". See also Coast Range (EPA ecoregion) for some discussion of this geography. -- BlueCanoe (talk) 19:24, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

What I did to this article
I feel that my edit may need more explanation than the edit summary affords. I took climate information out of the lead and made it a subsection of Geography, while expanding it, as I felt it was too specific for a lead. I moved the list of summits to Geography also, as this information is directly about the topography. The biggest changes were to Ecology, where I attempted to give an explanation of how the ecosystem varies, the former section seemed to mostly be about the western lowlands and the alpine areas. One sentence was given to the East, now it has a short paragraph. Finally I expanded and cited the history section, adding some more information on naming the range, and on how the US has protected it historically.--Al Climbs (talk) 02:20, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
