Here s how Seattleites should prepare for an earthquake by Callie Craighead, SeattlePI It s been a colloquialism among Seattleites for years that the really big one a catastrophic earthquake is coming. And the science backs it up: seismologists with the U.S. Geological Survey said there is a 15% chance the Evergreen State will be rattled by a magnitude 9.0 earthquake within the next 50 years. The likelihood of an earthquake under magnitude 8.0 smaller, but still potentially devastating to the region in the next 50 years is around 40%. So it s not a matter of if the really big one will hit, but when. While those who lived through the 2001 Nisqually Earthquake remember what it was like to be rocked, many of the newer transplants to the city might not understand how devastating a quake might be.
