I can't imagine that that would happen. All of the cities you mention are quite hilly. There are plenty of places to escape, which was NOT the case in Indonesia. Property damage, maybe -- but much loss of life, I doubt.

I live 5 minutes north of Seattle, and I'm about 300-400 feet above sea level. In most places, tsunami damage in the Seattle area would be limited to the immediate waterfront areas; most of Seattle would be protected by hills, and fairly steep ones at that. But a 9.0 earthquake in and of itself would cause major damage, tsanami or not.

Actually I'm on the river 70 miles from San Francisco. I'd probably get washed away too. BUT still might be worth it
