We aren't anywhere near a hillside. One of my house hunting requirements. Not in any of the valleys because of the lahar danger. Major earthquakes are a possibility but not very common. There are always small ones hardly anyone feels. Cascadia Fault going would be very bad. I may die from a tsunami from it while clam digging one day. Our house probably wouldn't get more than a small shake from it if anything depending on what other faults trigger.

Mt Rainier probably won't blow in my lifetime. The summit is 30 miles as the crow flies. It's the lahars off it that are worrisome. An earthquake could trigger one.

Taken end of our half mile long road because we have no tree breaks.

I visited family in that area when I was a kid. Visited Mt Rainier. I didn’t appreciate it as much as I would now, but even at 8 years old I was amazed at how beautiful it was!

-2 this morning. 🥶

BEAUTIFUL picture of Mt Rainier. We have some pretty mountains here in the Blue Ridge, but they are not as "craggy" as western mountains from all the years of eroding... western mountain ranges are "newer" than eastern mountains I've read. Still, it is nice to look out and see the peaks and valleys we have.
Never been to the west coat... it would be a nice trip to make.

Colder this morning 28, but not down to the 22 that was predicted. 50's today, then back to the mid 70's for several days... too warm for this time of year here, but why not enjoy it..... hope it doesn't hurt the fruit trees.

Ditto on the fruit trees. I hope they don't get messed up.

And just wow. Living up here so long I am now astounded by all these huge weather swings you folks down south keep talking about.

I know we had them when I lived in Texas..but that was more that 20 years ago.
