Volcanoes give you a lot of warning and most in Washington are not located close to major population centers. The one exception is Mount Rainier, which is on the Decade Volcano list. Technically Glacier Peak is a similar distance from Seattle but it is a much smaller volcano and risk of damage is much lower. Historically the Cascade volcanoes only erupt something like 2-3 times per century and most are minor. It isn’t something anyone really worries about. Much higher risk from earthquakes. I lived down range of Mount St. Helens when it had its major eruption in 1980. It was a regional disaster but the recovery was relatively quick and few people died despite the epic scale of it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decade_Volcanoes https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decade_Volcanoes
