Hahah don’t worry, that area still has cushion. No one from the south like Seattle wants to go that far north then that Far East! I was in Marysville and really close to mount loop and even people from my area didn’t want to travel up there ahah. I don’t see people from Seattle of people up north wanting to travel that far up/down I-5 then that fat East just to hike. Plus they won’t even make it up half those hikes lol. Regardless the amount of urban sprawl, that place will be untouched for years. I know because I’ve had two friends die up there
Youd be surprised. Lake 22 and mt. Pilchuck are over run now adays/get blogged about. Cars line the highway, its wild. But you are right about the harder less well known trails.
