Were there any earthquakes in the Portland, Salem and the Willamette Valley areas of Oregon? - willamette valley earthquake

~ Earthquakes tend to west of the Cascade Mountains. I have included an excerpt from a website ~

* The local earthquakes are common in the greater Portland, Northern Willamette Valley and can Klamath Falls area and along the coast south of Coos Bay by threatening Brookings. We simply do not know about the local seismic risk in most of western Oregon. All Western Oregon Cascades affected by earthquakes in the subduction zone. The amount of damage caused by earthquakes around the distance from the epicenter, the local soil conditions and building types.
