The Cascadia subduction zone is why you shouldn't move to the PNW. We are due for a +9.0 magnitude earthquake anytime between now and 300 more years lol.

[edit] Prediction of the next major earthquake
Recent findings concluded the Cascadia subduction zone was more hazardous than previously suggested. The feared next major earthquake has some geologists predicting a 10 to 14% probability that the Cascadia Subduction will rupture in the next 50 years, producing an event of magnitude 9 or higher.[9] Geologists have also determined the Pacific Northwest is not prepared for such a "Colossal" earthquake. The tsunami produced may reach heights of approximately 30 meters (100 ft).[10]
