As relief efforts continue for Nepal's magnitude 7.8 earthquake, new research from the University of Washington shows that a similar fault off the Northwest coast is so weak and slippery in places that minuscule tidal forces produced by the sun and moon are enough to trigger tremors. The quakes involved are so tiny they're imperceptible to people, but this slow slip that ratchets up pressure on the offshore fault slightly boosts the risk of a mega quake and tsunami.

Seattle runs the risk of being struck by three different kinds of earthquake-each with a distinct character, risk to life and property, and aftermath. Living Seattleites have only experienced the mildest of the three. Not the best news to hear, and to make matters worse Harborview, the regions' only level 1 trauma center, is located right on top of the Shallow/Crustal/Blind Thrust Fault aka the "Seattle Fault."
