Your question is a bit vague. EVERY state has experienced P, S and/or Body Waves (humans feel Body Waves and say "Earthquake!" while some animals can sense P- or S-waves).

Now, a better question is "Are there any states that never had an epicenter located within state boundaries?"

To answer that, you would have to locate a state that doesn't lie above one or more faults.

Florida is the only state in the continental US that has never had a recorded earthquake. The lack of earthquakes in Florida is due to the state's location away from tectonic plate boundaries, which are typically the main cause of seismic activity.
