Good morning, Tacoma.

Washington observes Volcano Awareness Month in May to mark 45 years since Mount St. Helens erupted—an event that continues to shape how locals understand our natural history.

Yesterday marked the 45th anniversary of Mount St. Helens' eruption, and scientists said they added new monitoring devices and updated the eruption response plan to watch volcanoes like Mt. Adams and Mount Rainier more closely—though no eruption is expected now.

These measures aim to catch early signs of activity and help guide future actions if needed.

Mount St. Helens erupted 45 years ago — the deadly event killed dozens and caused over a billion dollars in damage.
