The Cascadia subduction zone is a 960 km (600 mi) fault at a convergent plate boundary, about 100–200 km (70–100 mi) off the Pacific coast, that stretches from northern Vancouver Island in Canada to Northern California in the United States
Harold Tobin, a co-author of the paper and the director of the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network, said that although the data will help fine-tune projections, it doesn’t change a tough-to ...
The Pacific Northwest volcanoes continue to be a geologically active area. The most geologically recent volcanic eruptions include: Level Mountain, Canada's most voluminous and most persistent eruptive center, might have erupted in the Holocene. Nazko Cone, the youngest volcano in the Anahim Volcanic Belt, erupted 7200 BP.
Mapping from the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network shows that the bulk of the earthquakes in western Washington are concentrated in four places: in two narrow zones under Mount Saint Helens and Mount Rainier, along the DDMFZ, and under Puget Sound between Olympia and approximately the Southern Whidbey Island Fault.

“Faultline's heady combination of electronic avant-garde classical/dance is, thematically, about complicated as it sounds but Kosten's vision translates, aurally, as a series of threadbare, hauntingly programmed compositions, each simplistic and engrossing”. – Pitchfork "Exquisitely moving" - Mojo "Devastating and compelling" - The Sunday ...
Damaging earthquakes are well known in the Pacific Northwest, including several larger than magnitude 7, most notably the M9 1700 Cascadia earthquake and the M7.0–7.3 earthquake in about 900AD on the Seattle Fault. The M6.5 1965 Puget Sound earthquake shook the Seattle, Washington, area, causing substantial damage and seven deaths. This event ...
The Leech River Fault across the southern tip of Vancouver Island and the Tofino, West Coast, Hurricane Ridge (portion), San Juan, Survey Mountain, Devils Mountain, and Southern Whidbey Island Fault, and the projected extension of the Leech River Fault through Discovery Bay; all dip to the northeast.
The Brothers Fault Zone (BFZ) is the most notable of a set of northwest-trending fault zones including the Eugene–Denio, McLoughlin, and Vale zones that dominate the geological structure of most of Oregon.
