[from the Professional Paper] Marine seismic-reflection surveys, aeromagnetic mapping, coastal exposures of Pleistocene strata, and lithologic logs of water wells provide important information for assessing the active tectonics of the northern Puget Lowland and eastern Strait of Juan de Fuca region of the Pacific Northwest. These data indicate that the Devils Mountain fault and the newly recognized Strawberry Point and Utsalady Point faults are active structures and represent potential earthquake sources.
