Yes, that's a fact! So, too, is the fact that many other geotechnical calamities are due or past due for the Pacific Northwest. Look at the Long Valley volcanic caldera of California and the Yellowstone caldera of Montana, both know as Super Volcanoes. Eruptions at either location will impact the global economy and effectively destroy whole regions of North America, depending upon which way the winds blow on a sustained basis. No escaping such hazards, so they are not worth losing sleep over.

OT Actually, the Cascadia subduction zone usually generates a big one every 300 years or so, and since the last large quake was in 1700 we are way overdue. Scientists have also been finding indications that when Cascadia lets go, it becomes probable that the San Andreas fault will do the same within a few years. I hope I am dead before it finally happens. The estimates are that it will take at least six months before ANY utilities are restored in Vancouver, where I live. LC
