Mount Ranier (in the Cascades) last "erupted" in 1894. The major collection of research was for a 1981 book that has gone out of print, so dates of the reported eruption are not generally known. According to the title, more than steam and gas was released : Mount Rainier: The Tephra Eruption of 1894 (OCLC 41684547)
Yes. Both Tacoma and Seattle could potentially feel the effects of mudflows from Mount Rainier.

There is no volcano by the name of Mount Saint Rainier. This question confuses two different volcanoes: Mount St. Helens and Mount Rainier. Mount St. Helens famously unleashed a massive eruption on May 18, 1980, but has produced smaller eruptions as recently as 2008. Mount Rainier last erupted in 1894.
Yes, it is very close to Seattle, Wa. it is about 60 miles away.
I'm pretty sure that Elbe is the closest. I'll look when I go there next. My new answer: Eatonville, b/c it iss on the base of Mount Rainier.
