Comments
You could quibble that Garibaldi is north of the Fraser River and thus technically not part of the Cascade Range, or that Little Tahoma is not actually its own volcano, but I think the list is fine. Garibaldi gets in because it's a volcano created by the same general geological action as all the others, and Little T gets in because it's a good peak and not one of unreasonably difficult volcanic subsummits like Lincoln Peak or Assassin Spire. Ultimately I think the most important question is "does the list make sense", and this one does. The Tacoma Mountaineers put together a good list and I'm happy to use it.
I cooked up a related challenge years ago: https://www.christofteuscher.com/aagaa/cascades-11-10-challenge-series
As Alex, I'm slightly skeptical about the above list. Mt. Tabor in the middle of Portland is also an extinct volcano. Why is it not part of the list? The criteria for inclusion seem somewhat arbitrary. Perhaps that is fine.
