A new study has modeled the impact of a magnitude ~7.5 earthquake on the Seattle Fault — with tsunami waves reaching the greater Seattle area within 3 minutes. According to our geologists’ findings, tsunami waves could be as high as 42 feet at the Seattle Great Wheel and will reach inland as far as Lumen Field and T-Mobile Park. Although the last earthquake on the Seattle Fault occurred 1,100 years ago, the geologic record indicates a history of smaller, more frequent earthquakes every 700 years or so – placing us well within the window for a seismic event.
