The Puyallup Glacier is a glacier on the west flank of Mount Rainier in Washington state, covering about 2.0 square miles and holding an estimated 10.2 billion cubic feet of ice. It shares its source with the northern South Mowich Glacier, branching off the ice stream flowing from the Sunset Amphitheater before narrowing into a valley and ending on steep, uneven terrain around 6,000 feet in elevation, and it gives rise to the Puyallup River.
