Is it still flowing the mud and water. I wonder if there is something going on down below the surface where it is melting Hope it doesnt go off will keep our prayers that it will not. we got the ash from Mt St. Helens when it blew

No activity now. Mount Rainier has about a three-hundred year span between volcanic eruptions. Last one was about - - - 300 years ago. The foundation excavation building frenzy in Orting uncovered a forest engulfed in a mud flow, a couple of years ago. I believe that mudflow (lahar) was named the Electron Mudflow. Pierce County has been erecting "Volcano Escape Route" signs in the Puyallup and Carbon River valleys as part of their emergency management effort. The recent glacial outburst on the Nisqually Glacier triggered their sensors on the mountain, which caused them some excitement. The small town environment of Orting still exists, but they now have a full-blown Safeway and Micky D's.
