“Landslides are WAY down the list of concerns.”

Landslides are a HUGE threat and a very real concern in Washington State.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Oso_mudslide

“A major landslide occurred 4 miles (6.4 km) east of Oso, Washington, United States, on March 22, 2014, at 10:37 a.m. local time. A portion of an unstable hill collapsed, sending mud and debris to the south across the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River, engulfing a rural neighborhood, and covering an area of approximately 1 square mile (2.6 km2). Forty-three people were killed and 49 homes and other structures destroyed.”

Agreed. Ask people in an active volcano / earthquake zone like the Philippines, about landslides...
