Mount Rainier
Part of
Claimed Mount Rainier eruption over Seattle

USGS data indicates the most recent recorded volcanic activity occurred between 1820 and 1854, not specifically in 1820.

The legacy claim of a January 1820 eruption is unsupported by the supplied passages. The USGS report defines the most recent recorded activity as a window from 1820 to 1854. No specific date or visibility from Seattle is documented for this period.
