WB. Yea but the shaking will be so bad the liquification is the least of their worries. The ground is mostly sand fill on top of whatever is below. Those piling will look cool sticking out of the ground with the house scattered in pieces all around them.

Well, if anything close to a 9.0 hits, it likely won’t matter. However, It likely would help during smaller shakes, as has already been proven in in California. If the piling is designed to sway a bit during a quake, energy is dissipated.

I often sway after a few Rainiers..

The big’n won’t be gentle. They (the experts) say the shaking will last four to five minutes. The land its self will move west. Anything that was standing straight up before the shaking, won’t be after.

Some perspective on big quakes. The 1906 San Francisco earthquake had 23” of movement along the fault, at least in some areas. Forgot where we were, but was showed a fence that had the 23” fooset from the quake.

I will ride out the quake and evaluate my next move if I survive it. Same as anyone else.

Gotta prep for the afterwards part though. 😵‍💫🫨🤠

Google pics of the Alaska 1964 quake for the flavor of a 9.0. There was a lot more than 23” of movement!

There’s a town in California that never stops moving, fault runs right through town. Saw a documentary on it years ago, interesting.

I worked with a guy who was Air Force in anchorage when the quake hit. He had just walked out of the computer center when the quake hit. He said looked like ocean waves the ground moved so much. The 23 inches was the actual shift of the plates laterally After the shaking stopped.

I moved to MT, what earthquake……?

Now you just have to hope Yellowstone doesn't blow...
