This feature was listed under Oregon in 1996, although the structure is entirely within Washington. The maximum, but lower-probability slip rate from Geomatrix Consultants, Inc. (1995) was assigned in 1996. The assigned 2002 slip rate is based on 323 m of vertical offset of a 10.5 Ma basalt (Geomatrix Consultants, Inc., 1995; 1996).
