WHERE WE WORK
WASHINGTON
Seismic Risk Is High in Washington
Washington faces unique seismic threats due to its complex fault system and proximity to the Cascadia Subduction Zone. Notable fault lines and zones of concern include:
Cascadia Subduction Zone
A megathrust fault capable of magnitude 9.0+ earthquakes, affecting coastal and inland areas
Seattle Fault Zone
Runs directly beneath Seattle, posing major risk to the metro area
South Whidbey Island Fault
Extends through Island, Snohomish, and King counties
Tacoma Fault
A lesser-known but highly dangerous fault running beneath the southern Puget Sound
Given the frequency and severity of seismic events across the state, strengthening your building isn’t just about compliance—it’s a vital investment in long-term safety and operational resilience.
