Right. Try about a third of the way to Alaska. Almost unpopulated at northern tip of Vancouver Island.
Family in Everett, WA felt nothing. I’m just north of Mt. Rainier - nothing here either of course.
Wifey and niece were there in Victoria just a few days ago on a cruise,, visiting butterflies and the flowers, beautiful place, vancouver island is hugh.. I like the area , maybe not the healthcare but. ;-)
You said it. I ventured out there to see the Pacific Rim park one time thinking it was just a quick drive from Victoria. Like idiot tourists, we headed out with 2 small children and no provisions thinking we'd stop at restaurants there and back. Ha! When we finally got there after traveling logging roads for a long time, we found a small town - more like a village - and only one sort-of restaurant, which was closed. We asked a local resident if we could buy some bread, lunchmeat and water. They sent us to an out-of-season hunting lodge to track down a woman who made breakfast and dinner for the hunters in-season. We had potato soup and ham sandwiches while sitting on her couch. We almost had to spend the night with her because it was going to be dark soon and she was afraid we'd get lost on the logging roads. It was a trip to remember.
I see you’re familiar with Port Hardy. I wonder if you remember in the late 90’s there was a freak seal over population. For about a month the seals were everywhere.. then the killer whales came into the bay and all .... broke loose. I was up there about three months after the fact. The locals said National Geographic was there.. lots of photographers.. all getting shots of the killer whales going ape.. out of the water... body parts everywhere.. the whole nine yards. The restaurant right there at the dock had a book of pictures. Really something how nature works sometimes.
