The report finds that tsunami waves would reach shorelines in many places in minutes along the eastern side of Bainbridge Island, Elliott Bay and Alki Point.
Experts acknowledge the chance of that happening is very small, but it’s enough of a possibility that Department of Natural Resources geologists conducted their own study.. A researcher at the University of Southern California, Professor Sylvain Barbot, looked into the possibility that a larger tsunami could potentially hit the Northwest coast if a Cascadia mega-quake strikes in an offshore wedge.
