Comments
We used the mean Pleistocene vertical slip rate from Johnson and others (2001), derived from onshore subsurface data. The 80 ka top of the Whidbey Formation is offset vertically by 11.9 m across the fault. We stress that this slip rate does not include possible strike-slip motion that cannot be identified from vertical offset data. Characteristic magnitude fixed at M7.5.
