There are several scenarios which can cause a tsunami to hit the Oregon coast.

A large earthquake anywhere in the Pacific, volcanic eruptions, and large landslides are probably the three most likely.

Any coastal area is susceptible to a tsunami. Oregon was hit with a tsunami in 1964. While Alaska was hit hardest, Oregon did suffer substantial damage.
