It looks like St. Helens has the highest threat score (267) for volcanoes in the PNW. I see Mount Rainier (244) and Baker (156) on the list too.

I don't hear much about St Helens since I left there 12 years ago. I know at that time though the lava dome inside the crater was still growing.
With all the population areas close to Rainer, that one seems like it could be a real disaster if it went off.
Good points. Rainer last exploded in the 1800s, but it would likely be more destructive now, as you said.
