====Bibliography==== 1. Blakely, R. J. et al. Connecting the Yakima fold and thrust belt to active faults in the Puget Lowland, Washington. Journal of Geophysical Research 116, (2011). Blakely et al. uses aeromagnetic evidence to suggest that faults within the Yakima Fold and Thrust Belt (YFTB) may extend all the way to Western Washington, merging with the active Seattle and Whidbey Island faults. If these connected faults are seismically active along their entire lengths then seismic hazards in Eastern Washington are potentially more dangerous and should be reassessed.
