100 or so miles south of Seattle.
Just thought I'd pop in to say that Mt. St. Helens is in WASHINGTON. Lots of folks think it's in Oregon, and many more think it's near Seattle, but it is much farther south than Seattle.
OOOPS
I knew that :)
I used to live in Portland, Oregon! hehe
So I should have said
WASHINGTON and Oregon were leaning towards Kerry...heh
Very soon now, Washington will be in Oregon.
It's in Washington, but we here in Oregon stand to collect a goodly share of the ashfall.

I think people get confused because it is twice as close to Portland than it is to Seattle.
I was up on Silver Star Mountain near the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge and about 30 miles south of MSH today. I could see St. Helens, Rainier, Adams and Hood all from one spot. I would of been able to see Jefferson and possibly Mt. Washington and the Three Sisters but it was very hazy out today.
