I would get:
100 classic hikes in washington by Ira Spring & Harvey Manning
(This is great since it focuses on the very best hikes, 100 might sound like allot but they have several books of 100 hikes by area, so this is the very best of those, of course these will be more crowded.)
& Best Short Hikes in Washington's North Cascades and San Juan Islands by E.M. Sterling
The first is old not sure if anyone is keeping it up to date as the author's are deceased, so you will have to check with FS etc. on actually trail conditions, trailheads, roads etc. These were published by the Mountaineers so you could ask them as well.
For instance I know a big part of the PCT was moved to the other side of the Cascades after a slide, not sure if that has changed. That was in Glacier though.
It has been awhile since I have been up there.
