• We may have been named after a mountain in Washington State but we are NOT located there! So go ahead, just ignore the picture of a mountain (although it WOULD be nice to visit!), and instead click on a clickable city image map  that will give you an idea of what Mount Rainier in Maryland (USA) looks like! Please note: A few of the photos used in the image map are from 1997 so in order to insure accuracy updates will be made over the next few months! New photos of Mount Rainier can be submitted to this webmaster for inclusion!
