The only people who knew for certain that Pearl Harbor would be attacked were in the Japanese military. On the other hand, war between Japan and the US was widely anticipated at least as far back as 1925, given American opposition to Japanese expansionism I suspect that most people anticipating a Japanese attack, however, would have expected it in the Philippines or somewhere else closer to Japan.
