Mount Rainier is the most seismically active volcano in the Washington and Oregon Cascades. There are about three to four earthquakes in an average month within four miles of the Mount Rainier summit. That includes several seismic events that have been felt within Mount Rainier National Park, according to the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network.
