Hi Tola,
Lucky you was to take picture about it, i passed a few moment around Seattle and when i went to mount Rainier the weather was cloudy and i didn't see it... :-(
i like the forest in fist plan, good indication of the scale of the mount.
Good job.

Beautiful Mt Rainier,
Since you live in Seattle, One day you should go closer and find a nice foreground with wildflower and lake and take the best photo of it. This is just a very casual snap shot, quality is not that good, does not do justification for the majestic mountain.
