But the Seattle and Tacoma faults are probably the most serious earthquake threat to the populous Seattle–Tacoma area. A 2002 study of bridge vulnerability estimated that a magnitude 7 earthquake on the Seattle Fault would damage approximately 80 bridges in the Seattle–Tacoma area, [ 30 ] whereas a magnitude 9 subduction event would damage ...
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 ...

Moderately damaging earthquakes strike between New York and Wilmington, Delaware, about twice a century, the USGS said, and smaller earthquakes are felt in the region roughly every two to three years.
The earthquake had an estimated magnitude of 6.6 M s, 6.5 mb and 6.7 M w. [1] [2] At 10–20 seconds the duration of strong ground motion was relatively short. [6] The earthquake's focal mechanism indicates that it resulted from normal faulting within the Juan de Fuca slab.
