This week we venture into the Cascade Mountain range just a stitch south of Seattle and Tacoma, north of Portland to Mount Rainier, or what my kids called Mount Reindeer when they were little. Mount Rainier is Washington State's Shangri La. On a clear day it is the unrivaled star of the Seattle skyline. The mountain has served as a sacred spot for ancient peoples, a playground for mountaineers, and has a history of high strangeness. First Peoples describe Mount Rainier as an angry woman, the center of many centuries' old tales. Let's begin with the essential facts.
