A border area for the lock up, an interface between two plates that stops the oceanic plate, making subduct beneath us, forcing the ocean plate down into the layer of earth.

Most are in the Puget Sound region, and little cause any real damage. However, based on the history of past damaging earthquakes and our understanding of the geological history of the Pacific Northwest, we are sure that damaging earthquakes (magnitude 6.0 or greater) will recur in our area, although we have no way to predict whether this is more likely to be today or years from now. of â?
