White Pass (el. 4500 ft./1372 m.) is a mountain pass in the Cascade Range south of Mount Rainier and north of Goat Rocks in Washington, USA. U.S. Highway 12 passes over White Pass, connecting Yakima County with Lewis County.

A shortcut route across White Pass between Packwood and Naches was first established as State Road 5 in 1931, and the U.S. Highway 12 link was completed in August of 1951 along the current route.

White Pass Ski Area, located at the summit, opened in December 1955. Champion skiing twins Phil and Steve Mahre (and their seven siblings) grew up on White Pass, where their father Dave Mahre was the mountain manager for the ski area.
