  The densely urbanized Puget lowlands of western Washington, USA, are prone to seismic activity with evidence of major pre-historic earthquakes preserved within regional geologic features. While the Cascadian Subduction Zone is an important source of these pre-historic events, a network of shallow crustal faults may generate earthquakes of even greater destructive power. Here, we use dendrochronology and a global, time-specific pulse of cosmogenic radiocarbon to establish that trees along the Seattle and Saddle Mountain faults died synchronously in the Douglas-fir dormant season of 923-924 CE. Given this narrow window in time, the ruptures likely occurred simultaneously in a single 7.6 to 7.7 magnitude earthquake, jumping from one adjacent fault to the next. Alternatively, the ruptures may have occurred in a rapid “double punch” sequence of two 7.3 to 7.5 magnitude earthquakes over days to months. Either of these two scenarios in modern times would be catastrophic to natural systems and the built environment within this region of more than four million residents. Indeed, after >1000 years the potency of this event is still apparent at the sites where trees were killed, representing uplift of fault scarps, the impoundment of rivers, generation of a tsunami in Puget Sound, rock avalanches, and landslides across the Puget lowlands.
