Yes, Oregon experiences earthquakes due to its location along the Cascadia Subduction Zone. This fault line is capable of producing powerful earthquakes, including the potential for a major earthquake known as "the Big One." Oregon is at risk for seismic activity and has experienced earthquakes in the past.
