Came up the North Fork Sauk trail, continued on the PCT over Red Pass and camped in the Glacier Peak meadows area. This campsite is awesome, the view is inspiring. There is a good water source nearby. Bonus - there's a new pit toilet here!
The second night I camped at Dishpan Gap. As mentioned by other hikers, be prepared to carry water as there is none here. But it was a sweet little spot nonetheless.
The third night I took an easy day and stayed at Little Blue Lake. It may not have the same impact scenery-wise as Blue Lake, but the solitude was blissful. I thoroughly enjoyed wandering through the two little ponds below the lake, being watched by fish who didn't seem to find a human being threatening.
I did want to point out that there were multiple people who saw bears eating huckleberries on the slope where the North Fork Sauk trail comes up to join the PCT. I saw a total of 3 bears in two days - what a treat! If you are camping at White Pass, it would be a good idea to consider the bears when storing your food.
