The most powerful earthquakes in history have not happened on California-style strike-slip faults, but in thrust faults, as are common to the Pacific Northwest. This is the type of fault responsible for the 1960 Chilé earthquake (9.5), the 1964 Alaska quake (9.2), the 2004 Indian Ocean quake (~9.2), and, importantly, an earthquake along the coast of Washington on January 26, 1700 with an estimated magnitude of 9.0. The largest that's even _theoretically_ possible on the San Andreas fault is a 9.1, and that would require the entire length of the fault to rupture -- an exceedingly rare event. Incidentally, we're about due for another massive Cascadia quake -- geologic records suggest they occur every 300-600 years here.
