Westbound view on I-90 near Cle Elum this morning. I’m new to WA, can someone identify this mountain please? It was to the north-west of where I stopped to take the picture

I believe that is Mount Stuart with Dragon tail being just to the right of it. The Stuart range (Enchantments as they are also known) is home to Mount Stuart, the second highest non-volcanic peak in the state. Great view just north of Cle Elum from either I-90 or up US 97.
Mt Stuart is what some of the maps I looked at indicated. But wasn’t sure between that or Glacier Peak (?)
I very much appreciated your response!
Glacier peak is too far north to see from there, that's gotta be mount Stuart
You cannot see Dragontail in that pic, and it is not just to the right of Stuart anyway. Sherpa, Argonaut, Colchuck, then Dragontail Annapurna and McClellan, are to the right/east of Stuart. Sherpa would be in this pic but a tree is in front of it. Also, the Enchantments is the name for the high lake basin to the north of the Stuart range between Dragontail and McClellan.
Thanks, that makes sense. I've only ever seen Dragontail from the other side facing south.
Wait... you can see Dragon Tail from I90?? I've been on the right side of the ridgeline and didn't see I-90 from it...
Yes, you can.. But Dragontail is not in this pic, its several miles to the right of the photo area.
oh right on. Next time I summit it, I'll look in that direction, lol.
