For low weight and pack-size you're probably going to want a high-fill (700-800 fill) down bag, but you're quickly going to approach $500, especially for something capable of handling a 0° night. Keep in mind, the temperature rating on the bag is marketing fluff. 20°F just means that you won't freeze to death, but the bag is going to be comfortable at closer to 28-35°F.
Down bags are also not as good in wet weather, which is probably a concern in Washington. As someone else mentioned, you may want to just rent a bag. I'd explain to the person what you need and let them help you.
All that said, I really like Sierra Designs, and they have a bag that may meet your needs, and is under $400. https://sierradesigns.c

This is a great price for a quality sleeping bag in you need it for traditional camping where size isn't as big a concern
Also, definitely rent a bag like someone else here mentioned if you don't want to drop big bucks.
Also, high R level rated sleeping pad or none of the bag warmth matters anyway.

If you actually expect to be camping in 0 to 20 degree weather, then the equipment that you need is quite expensive and you might be betting your life on it. If you do this stuff all the time, then maybe you can research it and find something not too expensive, but if it's just a single ascent up Rainier, then renting is the way to go.

The cheapest option that meets that temperature with lightweight design considerations is probably the economy burrow custom from hammock gear or the aegismax G3 or G4 (You can't trust temperature ratings on chinese bags; they don't seem to have sleeping pads with an R higher than 2, I'm just going off of fill weight) on aliexpress.

It also depends what time of the year your will be climbing. I did it last July it wasn't too cold (including at high camp). The coldest part of the trip was summit day. Have layers so you can easily put them of and off.
Good luck!

0F to 20F is cold enough you probably want to spend $$ from a real brand.
I say this as someone whose highest-mileage pack and tent are both REI house brand from 2005 or so.
I bought the 20 bag for men and women. The women bag is much thicker and rated at 18f comfort and 5f limit vs the men is 29f comfort and 18 limit.
The 20 on the bag name is quite misleading IMHO.
The women bag is very nice for the price and I think I am going to return the men bag.
