Washington State Earthquake History. Major earthquakes in Washington since 1880 (source: USGS) On December 14, 1872, a strong earthquake in the Cascade Mountains caused damage at Victoria, British Columbia, and Seattle. It was felt over a very large area, about 390,000 square kilometers, extending as far south as Eugene, Oregon, and north into British Columbia, probably even into Alaska.
Powerful earthquake in same area as the one that caused Japan's tsunami disaster four years ago triggers panic, but only minor wave and no reports of damage. A small tsunami has hit the coast of northern Japan after a 6.9 magnitude earthquake struck on Tuesday morning. A wave of 10 centimetres was observed on the shore of Miyako, a small city of approximately 60,000 people on the eastern-most coast of Honshu, eastern Iwate, at 8:47 am.
