I've been looking up some hikes and I think I'd prefer one with mountains/lake for scenery. I'd say difficulty not extreme.
Looks like Rainy Lake, Snow Lake, and Mount Pilchuck fit the bill. Twin Falls looks cool too. Sounds like Mount Si might be too hard for those coming along with me.
Any preference?
Now imagine you have a baby attached to your back, does that change your mind?
Seems like Rainy Lake is wheelchair and therefore stroller accessible. Will a stroller be useable on any of the others? I don't plan on having one but options are nice to have.

To be honest I have very little hiking experience in WA and haven't done any of those but I'll look them up.

just reminded me of a bad arse climber I know. He's had his son strapped to his back for a few big climbs. I've witnessed it once. Crazy bastard. I would take a baby on anything up to a scramble rated hike.

I highly doubt it.

Everything you mentioned besides Mt. Si all look nice for your group.
Mt. Si is 4 miles one way with 3150' of elevation gain which isn't for everyone. Going down 3150' in 4 miles can be tough on the knees for a lot of folks too.

I've done 3 of those 4. Twin Falls is the easiest and still has pretty nice views, Pilchuck is probably the most impressive but the elevation gain can be tough. Also, at the top you're looking at a small scramble up some boulders to get into the lookout. Might be difficult with a baby.
