Why is Mt. Adams described as active but indicated as dormant status?

Why is it also described as the largest active volcano in the state? Rainier is bigger and more active right?

Adams is the largest by volume - though not as tall as Rainier, it is made of a greater amount of rock overall.

Of the two, Rainier is more active and poses a much bigger threat to population centers.
