Can anyone verify that a new fault was recently discovered under the Olympic Mountains that could generate another Magnitude 9 for the Seattle area, similar to Cascadia?

I heard a rumor of a recent TV news report last week, but could not find it - only one about a year ago and nothing that magnitude.
