| Notes | This article gives a good overview of the discovery of the Pacific Northwest’s past earthquake history and what was known about this history. Unfortunately, at the time this article was written, while studies were being done on 27 estuaries in the region, only half of the work had been completed. There is good information about Netarts, Salmon River, Siletz and Alsea Bays. |
