Juan de fuca plate subducting under the North American plate. Easily 9.2 if the megathrust occurs. San Andreas is just a srikeslip not capable of meaningfully large quake. May be 8 max... Perhaps just 7.8.

San Andreas is a joke. It is like a tornado in New Jersey. Possible but no where like a nice Moore tornado.

Building codes aren't 9.2. Seattle and Portland are both leveled. Are you sure?
