TLDR
In the past few thousand years, Earthquakes in the Cascadia subduction zone have left signs of land-level change, tsunamis, and shaking along the Pacific coast as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:
Earthquakes in the past few thousand years have left signs of land-level change, tsunamis, and shaking along the Pacific coast at the Cascadia subduction zone. Sudden lowering of land accounts for ...read more

Episodic Tremor and Slip on the Cascadia Subduction Zone: The Chatter of Silent Slip
Garry C. Rogers,Herb Dragert +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that ETS activity can be used as a real-time indicator of stress loading of the Cascadia megathrust earthquake zone and is called episodic tremor and slip (ETS).

A silent slip event on the deeper Cascadia subduction interface.
TL;DR: Continuous Global Positioning System sites in southwestern British Columbia, Canada, and northwestern Washington state, USA, have been moving landward as a result of the locked state of the Cascadia subduction fault offshore, and a cluster of seven sites briefly reversed their direction of motion in the summer of 1999.

The updip and downdip limits to great subduction earthquakes: Thermal and structural models of Cascadia, south Alaska, SW Japan, and Chile
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined thermal and structural control of the updip and downdip rupture limits of great subduction thrust earthquakes and compared the predictions of several models for what constrains great earthquake rupture.

Time and size of a giant earthquake in Cascadia inferred from Japanese tsunami records of January 1700
TL;DR: In this article, the authors found several tsunami records in Japan from AD 1700 with no indication of a local cause, and the estimated time of the earthquake is the evening (about 21:00 local time) of 26 January 1700.
