The animation assumes a magnitude 7.3 quake on the Seattle Fault.
Here are similar projections, based on a 9.1 quake, for Long Beach, Ocean Shores, and Bellingham, all modeled on a quake similar in size to what Japan experienced last week. (These are very big files; give them plenty of time to load. Smaller, less-detailed versions are at the NOAA link above.)
