What if I told you that one of America's most beautiful cities sits above a network of hidden earthquake faults capable of unleashing a devastating disaster?

Most people have no idea how dangerous Seattle's geological landscape really is. Beyond its famous skyline and breathtaking mountains lies a world of active volcanoes, ancient ghost forests, unstable ground, hidden fault systems, and the mysterious Cascadia Subduction Zone, which last produced a massive earthquake more than 300 years ago.
