Not impacted is a bit optimistic, there won't be a huge tsunami but there could be some remnants of it and shoreline areas could see loss of life from Puget Sound water, including the lowlying downtown area where Left Bank Books is located. There would also likely be cataclysmic landslides, esp. in the Everett/Mukilteo area (there's landslide issues there already even without a 9 magnitude quake).
The worst landslides could affect Portland, specifically the West Hills area directly behind downtown
There could be a substantial loss of life in this event.
