KMspreading argument it is shown that if the 1965 even~ was only at 10 krn distance from Olympia instead of 100 km, all other effects being equal, then greater than lg accelerations would have been recorded. Thus, estimates of seismic hazard based on a direct interpretation of the strong motion data of the 1965 and 1949 events will be erroneously biased towards less hazard if there is potential for shallow faulting in the Puget Depression.

The determination of deep‐seated geologic structure from the study of earthquakes has much in common with the determinations made of more shallow structure by the seismographic refraction‐method of prospecting. But the earthquake solution presents more difficulties. (1) We do not know just where earthquakes will originate. Therefore, we must build seismographic stations scattered throughout the domain to be investigated. These stations are expensive to establish and maintain, and, since the results of the investigations are not of any obvious economic value, the funds to support the stations are difficult to obtain. We cannot, therefore, have stations distributed every few miles from our sources. (2) We do not know when an earthquake will originate. Therefore, the stations must be kept in continuous operation with the resultant cost of maintenance and supplies. We cannot operate our recording drums at very high speeds (with resultant high accuracy in times measured), because of the expense of photographic paper for continuous operation.
