I have decided I don’t need to store any more emergency dog food since I have decided to eat the dog first at any sign of trouble.

Does that mean we can flush the entire West Coast at once?

In 1700, an earthquake with an intensity of about nine on the Richter scale shook what is now the coast of British Columbia, Washington and Oregon. It generated a tidal wave that struck Japan. There were no white people in the area at the time, but according to oral tradition among local Indian tribes, the tidal wave apparently wiped out several Indian communities.

Seattle will likely survive a quake on the Cascadia Fault—mostly. Because the fault is offshore, the most likely damage will be the huge tsunamis that will wipe out the Pacific coastline of Washington, Oregon, and California north of Eureka, CA. We’re actually fortunate that the coastlines of Oregon and Washington are thinly inhabited for the most part.

“Seattle will likely survive a quake on the Cascadia Faultmostly. Because the fault is offshore, the most likely damage will be the huge tsunamis that will wipe out the Pacific coastline of Washington...”
Why is that, since Seattle’s on the coast?

So Seattle, Portland, and SF will go kaput simultaneously... Wouldn't be unheard of; Sodom and Gomorrah went kaput simultaneously...

I see, thanks. However, from predictions I’ve read re: the far-reaching effects of a tsunami from a 9+ earthquake, it would seem that Seattle is still close enough to be quite vulnerable.
