White River (Washington)
The White River is a white, glacial river in the U.S. state of Washington. It flows about 75 miles (121 km) from its source, the Emmons Glacier on Mount Rainier, to join the Puyallup River at Sumner. It defines part of the boundary between King and Pierce counties.
A second White River has its source in Glacier Peak Wilderness and flows southeast to Lake Wenatchee.
