No tsunami, didn't feel anything. Was 6 miles from the 1989 quake that destroyed all the old brick buildings, and that was pretty exciting.
This was on the south end of the Cascadia subduction zone fault, which is expected to produce a massive quake and tsunami when it finally pops. I'm no seismologist, but expect this quake has transferred more pressure to the main section of that fault.
I'd be nervous if I lived up in Oregon or Washington near the coasts. They're estimating the tsunami generated by the upcoming Cascadia Subduction Zone will be 'around 100 feet high' on the coasts, and I think 30 feet or higher when it finally hits Seattle.
We may get a bit of tsunami here, but probably not all that much.
They're expecting it to be a 9, and the coast up there will only have minutes to head for the hills. Roads could be heavily damaged from the quake though.

The San Andreas fault is gay by comparison.
