4/12, Sunday. Sunny, warm. Took bus 554 to Issaquah old town. Walked south to the High School TH, and back at East Sunset Way TH. ~10 miles, 3000'+. The red on this map is roughly my track. I took the photo of this map at the trail head. Overall pretty boring. But it's good to be out in a mountain after 2 weeks stranded in the city. 
Trails are well maintained, and well signed at each junction. However, you'd need a map to know which trail is going where. Too many of them. Saw total of ~36 people, ~12 dogs, half of those and a black bear were under 500'. Spring flowers are coming. Saw some trillium, bleeding heart and yellow violet.
2 cars parked at High School TH. Poo Poo Point may have the best view for a short hike here (if you start at Poo Poo Point TH). At 1850', looking west to the Olympics and down to Issaquah. Two picnic tables, plenty space to sit around, since there's no launch. The guy in the photo is the 10th person I encountered today. 
No car in the large parking lot. Probably the road is closed. Quite a lot of trash here.
Back up to the trail junction, took One-View trail. Passed the sign of "Fifteen Mile Gap" -- don't know what it is, the area looks like anywhere else in West Tiger. A couple of up and downs, then Poo Top trail to West Tiger #1 - the highest at 2948'. 3 large towers, a couple of locked buildings. Views are obstructed by trees. 
From here, I walked the road, passing some warning signs of high dose of radiation. After passing the gate, there's a bench and pretty good view of Rainier and Olympics. The bench was occupied by 2 guys and a dog.
West Tiger #2 (2759') has only one tower. Fenced in. No view at all. 
Continued down, now on a trail to West Tiger #3. Still no view. A post welcomes you to this 2522' summit and a clearing with some rock seats. Not far behind, there seems to be a camp site, but no water.Now go down on Section Line Trail (signed as "unmaintained trail". Somewhat steep. Dry with some loose rock. Not the best to go down on. Met one lady twice (running up and then down). She looks older than me, but definitely more fit. Then right on Talus Rock trail, left on Nook trail, and left on Bus trail.
At the turn towards Tradition Lake, there is a rotten bus. The lake looks quite nice. Good size. But I didn't get close enough to take a good photo. Saw 5 people here.
Continued west towards Round Lake, right under the power lines, in the clearing, on the grass, was a black bear, about 80m south. I turned around and shushed the 3 people behind me who were just emerging from the woods. The bear looked at me, didn't move. He wasn't thin, being so early in the season. I took a photo, and continued into the woods on the other side. Round Lake is plain and small. Followed Wetland trail (not very wet). Then went down to the parking lot on Sunset Way.Waited ~15 minute for my bus home. Bought some grocery in China Town. Getting a bit breezy. Overall, a good workout. Nice to be out.
