When Seattle Quakes | Mossback's Northwest

There’s been much press about the Northwest being earthquake-prone and expectations of the “Big One” to hit again, like it did in the year 1700 when a quake off the Washington coast unleashed a tsunami. We don’t know when it might happen again, but it is sure to. Memorable quakes are more frequent and closer to home. A massive quake on the Seattle Fault, which runs under the city, reshaped the landscape in the year 900. And we’ll look at significant quakes that shook Seattle up in 1949, 1965 and 2001. ** Watch more episodes of Mossback's Northwest: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL18y1vgsGPLb3VLSg4y7E-PKU_A1uMu23 ** Donate to Cascade PBS: https://secure.cascadepublicmedia.org/page/176149/donate/1 ** Listen to the Mossback podcast: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL18y1vgsGPLZKaystzJzeKwpZa2un63im Follow Cascade PBS on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cascadepbs/ ** Watch more from Cascade PBS: https://video.cascadepbs.org/ ** Follow Cascade PBS online: https://www.facebook.com/cascadepbs/ https://www.instagram.com/cascadepbs/ https://www.tiktok.com/@cascade_pbs https://www.threads.net/@cascadepbs #history #seattle #pacificnorthwest #pnw
