The epicenter was in the southern Puget Sound, northeast of Olympia, but the shock was felt in Oregon, British Columbia, eastern Washington, and Idaho. [6] This was the most recent of several large earthquakes that occurred in the Puget Sound region over a 52-year period and caused property damage valued at $1–4 billion.
A stretch of Washington State Route 302 near Allyn, Washington, damaged after the earthquake. A magnitude 6.0 struck Andreanof Islands, Alaska, on February 1 at a depth of 33.0 km (20.5 mi). [17] A magnitude 5.1 struck Gujarat, India, on February 8 at a depth of 10.0 km (6.2 mi). [18] It is an aftershock of the 2001 Gujarat earthquake ...
(DGER [9]) One model of the Seattle Uplift: Cross-section (south to north) along the east side of central Puget Sound, looking west. TB = Tacoma Basin EPZ = East Passage Zone (Maury Island), SFZ = Seattle Fault Zone (Alki Point). Grey dots are hypocenters of earthquakes of magnitude 2 or more for 1970–2001. (Fig. 17D from Johnson & others 2004)
The California Supreme Court should reject the Bar’s approach and restore sanity to a process that matters so much to the practice of law. The State Bar of California has proposed two utterly ...
Another notable intraslab earthquake in the Puget Sound region was the magnitude 6.8 2001 Nisqually earthquake. Intraslab earthquakes in Cascadia occur in areas where the subducting plate has high curvature. [13] Much of the seismicity that occurs off the coast of northern California is due to intraplate deformation within the Gorda plate.

The Tacoma Fault Zone marks the south end of the Seattle Uplift, of which the similar and related Seattle Fault Zone marks the north end. This uplift is believed to be either a slab of rock about 15 km thick being pushed up a ramp, or a wedge being popped up between these two faults, by tectonic forces from the south or south-west as tectonic plates riding on top of the Juan de Fuca plate are ...
