Seismic Activity Alert: Hundreds of Earthquakes Detected at Mt. Rainier

Geologists have detected hundreds of small earthquakes beneath Washington’s Mt. Rainier, according to a report from the New York Post. While the activity remains below hazardous levels, it has prompted increased monitoring by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

Mt. Rainier, a stratovolcano located southeast of Seattle, is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the U.S. due to its glacier-covered peak and proximity to populated areas.

Experts emphasize there is no immediate threat of eruption, but the cluster of quakes could signal increased movement of magma or shifting tectonic stress beneath the surface.

Authorities are closely watching the situation and encourage residents to stay informed through official USGS updates.

Stay safe and follow local emergency management for the latest information.
