Historical earthquakes in and around Portland, Oregon.
September 20, 1993: Magnitude 5.0 and 6.0 – There were two initial quakes that were followed by a number of aftershocks, the largest being a 5.1 quake in December of 1993. Damage was reported along the coast and in Josephine and Jackson Counties.Īpril 14, 1920: An earthquake of unrecorded magnitude was centered around Crater Lake. It occurred on Novemat the California border on the coast and had a magnitude of 6.75. The first earthquake of note is the largest recorded earthquake in Oregon history. The quake was centered just south of Salem, and registered 4.6 on the Richter scale.Īpril 13, 1949: Magnitude 7.1 – Polk county residents felt an earthquake that was centered near Olympia, Washington. Three earthquakes have affected southern Oregon since 1870. 4Īpril 18, 1961: Magnitude 4.6 – A quake in Albany, Oregon caused little damage to the county, but startled many residents. It was the largest quake to be generated by a fault under Portland and Vancouver. November 5, 1962: Magnitude 5.2 – In the Vancouver, Washington area three and a half weeks after a devastating Columbus Day Storm, an earthquake measured approximately 5.2 on the Richter scale and shook the Portland area. Despite the low magnitude of the quake, damage still occurred (especially to older masonry buildings). March 7, 1963: Magnitude 4.6 – In Salem a quake measuring 4.6 on the Richter scale shook Polk County. While there were no reported injuries, structural damages did occur. This earthquake caused damage mostly within a radius of about 25 miles, primarily in the communities of Molalla, Woodburn, Newberg, and McMinnville. March 25, 1993: Magnitude 5.6 – The earthquake near Scotts Mills, Oregon, 32 miles from Portland, was a shallow crustal earthquake recorded at magnitude 5.6. Here’s a list of notable Oregon earthquake events:įebruary 28, 2001: Magnitude 6.8 – The Nisqually earthquake caused high-rise office buildings in Portland to sway for 20 to 30 seconds and some exterior cosmetic cracks of the Public Safety Building in Hillsboro. Records also indicate that earthquakes in the Puget Sound Region, such as the 1949 magnitude 7.1 event near Olympia, WA, and the 1965 magnitude 6.5 event located between Seattle and Tacoma, can cause damage in Portland. The Portland metropolitan region has encountered seventeen earthquakes of an estimated magnitude of four and greater, with major earthquakes in 1877 (magnitude 5.3), 1962 (magnitude 5.2), and 1993 (magnitude 5.6). Portland and its surrounding region is potentially the most seismically active area within Oregon. Recorded Oregon earthquake events date back to 1841, since this time there has been more than 6,000 earthquakes in Oregon, most with a magnitude below three.
