It's called the "Pacific Ring of Fire" and when St. Helen's blew then activity was observed later on Rainier, I think more in the 1990s. The devastation if Rainier blew would be something. But Seattle worries more about the subduction fault the city is built on. Frankly San Francisco should be nothing but a port with single level warehouses and not a city at all.
