Perhaps the most famous, and possibly the last major tsunami in the USA was from the 1964 Alaska earthquake with a resulting tsunami hitting Alaska, and traveling as far a Hawaii and the Oregon/Washington coast.

Another Tsunami was the Lituya Bay, Alaska Tsunami in 1958.

Since the Alaska Earthquake in 1964 and the resulting Tsunami, the West Coast of the USA has had a Tsunami early warning system with emergency evacuation plans. There have been a couple of alarms from earthquakes, but no significant waves.

Unfortunately, due to human nature, many people flocked to the coast after recent tsunami warnings.
