I believe you mean the 1964 Prince William Sound earthquake in Alaska.
There was a Whittier, CA, quake in 1987. I didn’t live that far away at the time. I believe it was 6.4 and did a fair amount of damage.
I felt that 1987 Whittier quake in Santa Barbara.
I had just gotten off the phone in my bedroom with a business associate in London and I felt the desk moving.
I walked into the hallway and a big lighting fixture on a chain over the stairs was swaying.
