I've been reading about the big one in the PNW for years. It's overdue, and when it happens pretty much no one is prepared or can escape it if they're west of the Cascades. if it's big enough, perhaps it will cause problems east of the Cascades too, but I choose not think about that. There was an article in Outside Magazine about 5-10 years ago that covered this pretty thoroughly. The casualty count would be in the hundreds of thousands within hours of the quakenami.

The Cascadia zone is capable of 9-point quakes, along HUNDREDS of miles of the subduction fault at once. Think Indonesia 2004, only bigger and more populated.

My stepbrother used to live in San Jose, CA. He would give me grief about living in Florida with all the hurricanes. my answer was simple - at least I didn't have to worry about waking up at a new address.

Living at the south end of the Cascadia "zone" and the north end of the "san andreas" zone, and west of the Gorda plate "triple junction"... this is not news, really.
The Cascadia zone is capable of 9-point quakes, along HUNDREDS of miles of the subduction fault at once. Think Indonesia 2004, only bigger and more populated.
If a quake like that happens, and you hear about it on the radio, and you're near a coast anywhere on the pacific rim? Get to high ground immediately...
A few years ago when house hunting, I passed up a place about 200 yards from the bay. This was one of the reasons (well, it being $20,000 higher than my budget was another reason).
Count on MINUTES before the wave hits the West Coast.
If it happens in our lifetime, well, it will be worse than anything this country hass seen in 250 years, wth the possible exception of the Civil War.
