Information on Pacific Northwest earthquake activity and hazards is provided by
the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network (PNSN) which operates
seismograph stations and locates earthquakes in Washington and Oregon. The
PNSN
is operated jointly by the University of Washington, the University of Oregon,
and Oregon State University, and is funded by the U.S. Geological Survey, the
Department of Energy, and the State of Washington. The PNSN
is based at the Geophysics Program of the University of Washington in Seattle,
and is a member of the Council of the National Seismic Systems (CNSS), a group
of regional network operators who cooperate to locate and catalog earthquakes
throughout the United States.
