How immediately around it? Because there's a decent chunk of Washington between Mt. Tacoma and Idaho lol

Basically those in the area of the immediate blast zone (the red area on the graph). Things will be high unpleasent for everyone else in its area of effect, but not murder-zone unpleasant. After the blast zone, the next biggest murder-doom is the smoke, which the prevailing easterlies will push over Idaho. The bigger concern for WA isn't if Rainer blows or its ash, it's if it triggers the fault lines.
