A groundbreaking 2025 Cornell University study revealed that all Cascade Range volcanoes, including those previously thought to be dormant, contain massive, active magma chambers, drastically changing the understanding of volcanic risk in the Pacific Northwest. This discovery coincided with Mount Rainier experiencing its largest recorded volcanic seismic swarm in July 2025, involving over 1,200 microearthquakes, centered 3 miles beneath its summit where 4.4 cubic kilometers of glacial ice sit. Scientists confirmed the presence of large, persistent molten rock reservoirs—not temporary ones—with seismic waves slowing by up to 70% as they passed through the partially molten rock, indicating immense, ongoing pressure from the Juan de Fuca plate subduction. Experts and local authorities, including Washington's Governor, are now issuing emergency warnings and conducting large-scale evacuation drills, recognizing that a small eruption could trigger catastrophic lahars (volcanic mudflows) that could reach densely populated communities like Orting and Puyallup within minutes, with potential economic damages estimated at $5 to $10 billion, highlighting a permanent and escalating geological threat.
