Learn moreThe Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake hazard applies here
As documented in full in washington.js, the Cascadia Subduction Zone is a real, well-established scientific-consensus hazard covering the Pacific coastline through Washington, including Everett's Puget Sound waterfront location. Standard homeowners insurance does NOT cover earthquake damage anywhere in the US, including Everett -- earthquake coverage requires a separate policy or endorsement.
No hurricane risk; modest, geographically distant wildfire exposure
Everett carries no hurricane or coastal storm-surge risk. Washington's wildfire risk, per washington.js, concentrates in Eastern Washington and the Cascade foothills -- genuinely distant from Everett's own Puget Sound waterfront location, though regional smoke/air-quality effects during severe fire seasons elsewhere in the Pacific Northwest remain a real, if secondary, seasonal consideration.
