Yeah earthquakes are a feature in Western WA.

“Washington State’s Department of Natural Resources estimates that the odds of a magnitude 9.0 quake within the next 50 years are about 10-17 percent. Tsunami flooding depths along Northwest beaches are expected to range from 60-100 feet, but **Bremerton is far inland enough that it would not be substantially affected.**”

It should be noted that Bremerton is not inland, but on Puget Sound and any tsunami will over-top it.
