Based on this statement, I am going to respectfully disagree with the suggestion that the Nelson Potterfield guides are what you want...
They are excellent guides, but include mostly technical climbs and climbs involving glacier travel which are not the type of climbs that you indicate that you want to do. You would be buying books including very little of what you want.
For instance, if you want to climb Mount Stuart, the Nelson Pottefield guide only includes Ice Cliff Glacier, Girth Pillar, North Ridge, and Stuart Glacier Couloir - none of which fall into the Class 3 to 5 easy scramble range...
You aren't that specific about the areas in which you want to scramble, so I am not sure what to suggest - there is a book entitled
75 Scrambles in Washington. I'm not sure what all is in it.
The Smoot guide contains more of what you are looking for, but apparently contains some errors. I can't confirm that, but I do like the photo of Mount Stuart that he uses on page 191 (though it doesn't come out too well in small format black and white).
