Anecdotally, climbing Mt. Rainier via the Disappointment Cleaver route can be done with little to no actual technical climbing. Nevertheless, having glacier rescue practice under your belt is fairly essential, as technical skills may be required in the event of an emergency (i.e. self arresting, belaying others on your rope team, setting a Z-pulley to haul them out of a hidden crevasse). Consider glacier rescue courses from any of the Seattle-area mountaineering guide services and practice on your own afterwards. Reactions in an emergency will be no better than your training.
