You wanna see buildings not made for earthquakes?
Seattle & Portland (& rest of the coast)will put on a big display when the Cascadia Fault cracks!
To give credit, local government is doing what they can.
I don’t want to be in the viaduct tunnel when that happens (or the light rail tunnels).
I didn't know that about Washington state.
It's typical that the local government is doing something. That's America for you. I lived in Mexico City for a couple of years when I was young and there you see the EXACT opposite. But that is typical for there.
Side note: Mexico may be, for us at least, a real pit hole but for Central and South America Mexico is called the "Giant of the north." Lol.
Those folks know how much Mexico benefits from being on the border with us. Tens of thousands of jobs, mostly dull assembly line jobs, are there for Mexicans at their USA-Mexico border. Mostly women are hired by Mexico because they will work longer hours for less money seven days a week.
