Kitsap Peninsula is the most logical target for a retaliatory nuclear attack in our region by Iran.

With that said, here’s what AI is forecasting:
The Direct Blast Zone
To understand what downtown Seattle would look like immediately following a detonation, we have to look at how a blast radius dissipates over distance.
Even if we model a massive 1-megaton surface detonation (a standard benchmark for a major strategic nuclear strike, which is actually more powerful than the W88 warheads stored at the facility), the direct physical destruction would fall short of Seattle.
Here is how the direct effects would scale outward from Kitsap:
• Ground Zero (0 to 3 miles): The base and surrounding communities (like Silverdale) would be destroyed by the fireball and extreme blast pressure.
• Moderate Damage Zone (up to 6 miles): Most residential and commercial buildings would collapse.
• Thermal Radiation Zone (up to 10 miles): The heat pulse would be intense enough to cause widespread fires and third-degree burns.
• Light Damage Zone (up to 13 miles): The blast wave would still be strong enough to shatter windows and cause injuries from flying glass.
Because downtown Seattle is 20 miles away, it would sit outside the direct blast and thermal zones. Structurally, downtown Seattle would look completely intact. You would not see skyscrapers collapsing or buildings catching fire from the explosion’s heat.
Instead, anyone in Seattle looking west would experience an incredibly intense, blinding flash of light—brighter than the sun—which could cause temporary flash blindness. About 90 to 100 seconds later (because sound travels much slower than light), the shockwave would finally reach the city as a massive, deafening boom, though it would have lost enough energy that it wouldn’t knock down buildings.
