Hey everyone!
This is something I've wanted to put together for a long time... A list of great spots where you can see The Mountain out around our areas (Seattle, Tacoma, etc)! And I think with everything going on right now with COVID, it's going to be extra useful (Before going outside, please follow the recommendations of the government and/or CDC like social distancing).
So I posted the other day on the RW Instagram and got a bunch of helpful tips where you love to Rainier watch when Mount Rainier is out in the PNW! Thanks everyone for sharing your favorite spots, I'm hoping this list can grow and maybe eventually I'll build it into an interactive map.
Feel free to share your favorite spots that aren't yet on the list via email or in the comments below!
