Used Book in Good Condition
The Cascades are an entire range, with all that implies for hiking. Mt. Rainier is a huge volcano that stands alone. Lots of great of hiking on it, but it is a standalone feature -- You'll mostly be looking up at the same mountain all the time. The Olympic peninsula has mountains, but you're really going there for the coastal rainforests, I would expect.
For me, the north Cascades would win out. More options for hiking, the combination of alpine lakes, peaks, glaciers, etc., are what I go for.
The drive to the Cascades is only 2.5-3 hours from Vancouver, I believe. If you can find this book, generally the Copelands provide great hiking advice and the book would offer some good suggestions for day hikes.
