Well, I don't know if there is an exact answer, but I know that ash from the eruption spread throughout the whole USA
The blowdown zone of Mount St. Helens, following its catastrophic eruption on May 18, 1980, extended approximately 230 square miles (600 square kilometers). The force of the eruption produced a lateral blast that knocked down millions of trees and flattened vegetation in the surrounding area. This devastation was primarily concentrated in the north and northeast directions, where the effects of the blast were most severe. The event significantly altered the landscape and ecosystem of the region.
96 miles
The red exclusin zone was 5km where no activity could take place, the blue where some activity (fertilising trees, logging etc.) could take place was about 15km
Mt. St. Helens did not have lava flow during its 1980 eruption. Instead, it underwent a catastrophic lateral blast that expelled hot ash, steam, and debris. The eruption resulted in a massive eruption column and pyroclastic flows.
The 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens affected a large area around the volcano in Washington state. The blast zone impacted approximately 230 square miles, destroying forests, lakes, and wildlife. The eruption also caused avalanches, mudflows, and lahars that affected the surrounding landscape.
Sideways (Lateral Blast).
big!!

About 2 cubic km of material was erupted. About the size of the Mt St Helens eruption in 1980.
