Have you ever seen a map of the US before? How is a tsunami going to hit either of those cities?
Look into the Cascadia subduction zone of the Juan de Fuca plate. A 9.0+ quake in the subduction zone could send a tsunami 100ft high from Northern California to Vancouver BC

We don't know what would happen if the cascadia subduction zone has a quake that strong, but it's highly unlikely even that would cause a tsunami to hit either city. The Atlantic article about a tsunami wiping Seattle out was full of irrational fear mongering (which should surprise no one given the terrible COVID will kill us all bullshite they keep running).

Washing out a bunch of California would probably help

I guess 2020 could actually get crazier.
