Not my favorite hike. This had increidble ratings and was even listed as one of the top 15 and it simply didn't work for me. The hike is almost exclusively switchbacks. You will do 26 in a row on the same side of the mountain with almost no change in view. The switchbacks are not hard. but they are very narrow and the edge is too steep for my liking. You do that for 1.8 miles and then have very short period of a lovely hike that is beautiful. Then you are back to a narrow hike on small rocks with steep drop offs.
In the end, I couldn't justify this hike. It was 2.5 hours from Seattle for a 90 minute hike where I felt anxious about falling the entire time. I didn't think it was worth it.
