The Cascadia Subduction Zone is a signifcant fault running off the coast of the Pacific Northwest, where the Juan de Fuca plate slides under the North American plate. When stress builds up between the plates, an earthquake occurs, which may also be accompanied by one or more tsunamis. This fault represents one of the biggest dangers towards Seattle. The last time it went off was in 1700.
