There's not a whole lot of alpine lakes between 12 and 14, so this didn't take too long to find on google maps (I think). The name on google maps is for a canid (to not completely spoil it for others).

That's about the only 12-14 lake I didn't look at with GEarth. doh.gif

Is it in the Goat Rocks?

I think it's Coyote Lake at 46.61258, -121.49722. Here's an AllTrails page that talks about it. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/washington/clear-lost-trail The photos are probably taken from the SE looking N/NW if so. Not a lot of photos out there to cross reference aside from: 1. This one found here: https://getoutbackpacking.com/the-great-goat-rocks-figure-8-loop-part-1/
2. And this one found here: https://www.nwhikers.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=651955
But you can compare this photo to this still image from Google Earth.
I would have never been able to guess this without @philfort's canid hint though. Despite having visited dozens of alpine lakes in Washington and read/dreamed about a couple hundred others I'm still stumped by almost every post in this thread haha.

If I guessed it right, here are two from me. The first one will probably be easy to guess. Though I'd bet half of Seattle hikers have seen it from a different perspective.
I'd wager the second one will be more difficult to identify unless someone has stood in the same place. Which, they likely have if they have been to the same area due to geographic constraints.

Are those Snow Lake and Glacier Lake below Chikamin?

I was pretty certain about Snow Lake, but Glacier Lake "felt" like the right answer. I don't think I've stood in that same spot as where your photo was taken but the immense boulder field in that area really seems a bit unique, and the barely visible social trails on the shore are a good hint as well

After a hiatus from posting on this site, your rather long "knowledgeable" reply after someone else's clue makes me think that I am better off as a lurker rather than a poster.

I am still stumped by all of these but going to post one that should be easy anyway.

I have no ideas for where this lake is, but it's interesting that even though there are still sizable snow banks the lake is well below it's high water line.
