There is no access to Cape Horn via NW Cape Horn Road - about a mile from the summit the public road becomes a gated driveway and you can get no closer.
UPDATE Dec 2022: There is now a closed (unsigned) gate a ways up Mills Bridge Road. It is recommended to park on the highway and this activation becomes an 8 mile RT. 2200 foot gain road walk.
The gate with access to Boiler Ridge from near Camp 18 on Highway 26 (mp 18) is now posted "Permit Required" for all access. These permits may be expensive ($300 motorized and $75 non-motorized) and challenging to obtain (appears to sell out quickly). https://recreation.weyerhaeuser.com/Permits
Tulalip Hill is an easy 1-point drive-up summit located in Snohomish County, WA. While the summit is located on private property, there is a public boat launch on the northeast corner of the lake which is within the activation zone. Thanks to Jason KV7DX (previously KE7UIU) for providing this information to myself and other activators!
A Discover Pass is required.

Nov 2, 2019 was the perfect day for climbing Mt. Carrie. The weather was cool and clear. Some snow up above Heart lake, but the Cat Walk (the unmaintained trail and scramble east of Heart Lake) was free of snow. That area would be very challenging with snow, and an ice axe and crampons would be a must.
Lummi Peak is a 2 point summit located in Whatcom County, WA. A short ferry ride will take you to Lummi Island, which was $13 for vehicle with driver (as of Nov 2019). After deciding to take a Friday vacation day, Jason KV7DX (previously KE7UIU) suggested Lummi Peak. He had activated the summit twice (Aug 17 and Dec 18), and it sounded like the perfect option for a cold and sunny November day. I was also excited to try out a portable setup for FT8.
