Best Answer

No. It is part of the Cascade volcanoes, which is a chain of volcanoes running from British Columbia to northern California, that are fed by a convergent boundary between the Juan de Fuca and the North American plates. The Cascade volcanoes themselves are part of the enormous Ring of Fire that roughly encircles the Pacific. The subduction zone between the Juan de Fuca and North American plates which feeds the volcanoes (including Rainier) is just a bit to the west, under the Pacific Ocean.
