"Typical" is what is misleading. I lived in Seattle for 4 years as a kid and then another 4 as an adult. Ranier absolutely dominates the Seattle area when skies are exceptionally clear, which is almost never. The same can be said about Hood and St. Helens over Portland and to a lesser extent Baker over the Lower Mainland. I've seen days in Portland when St. Helens, Hood and Adams seemed so close you could almost touch them.
