I was 17, and was waterskiing out with my family on a Sunday in and around Gig Harbor, WA. We got back and heard about this:
As the crow flies, not that far away, but with the winds, we did not get the ash that everyone to the east got. It was an amazing day I will always remember from 1980. Harry Truman, 56 others, Spirit Lake and many cabins along the Toutle River, along with a whole bunch of trees and wildlife were gone in a flash. Amazing.
The picture gallery linked on this page has some good shots:

My geology teacher in high school predicted that eruption prior to the event back when I was a sophomore. I guess he had some friends at the USGS. I thought that was a cool story. I barely passed his class too anyway.

I remember that day as well. I was 15, and living in Mount Vernon, Washington. We felt the shockwave all the way up there. It seemed to go on for a long time. I did a backpacking trip in the MSH area about 20 years ago. It was amazing to see how quickly everything was coming back. I'm sure that today it's mostly all recovered.
