Vulcano Monte Rainier
Secondo molte valutazioni il vulcano più pericoloso degli Stati Uniti: uno stratovulcano coperto di ghiaccio visibile da Seattle e Tacoma. La minaccia principale non è la lava ma i lahar; colate di fango del passato raggiunsero terreni dove oggi vivono decine di migliaia di persone, e le valli sottostanti hanno sirene di allerta e vie di evacuazione.
