- Seattle - Mount Rainier is a prominent symbol in Washington’s landscape. Also known as Tacoma, it is the tallest mountain in the Cascade Range of the Pacific Northwest and the highest in Washington state. As an active volcano, Mount Rainier boasts the most glaciated peak in the United States, giving rise to five major rivers. Its summit remains snow-covered year-round, and as the snow melts, it feeds the stunning waterfalls, expansive lakes, and lush forests of Rainier National Park.
