Ancient Tsumanis in the Pacific Northwest

Wow very interesting stuff from the oral tradition of the Native Americans in the area about tsunamis and earthquakes. I wonder how big and powerful these earthquakes and tsunamis were:

One massive earthquake is estimated to have hit the region in 900, while eyewitness accounts from the 19th century point to a huge earthquake and tsunami that hit the area in 1700.

Sounds like a fun science project I think.
