I live in Victoria and have looked into this before. Being an island, in most areas the land tends to rise fairly rapidly as you move away from the water. Predicted rise due to a tsunami is relatively small given the that the lower island is sheltered by the Olympic Peninsula. There has been extensive modeling done, as described here: https://www.crd.bc.ca/docs/default-source/news-pdf/2013/modelling-of-potential-tsunami-inundation-limits-and-run-up-report-.pdf?sfvrsn=0 https://www.crd.bc.ca/docs/default-source/news-pdf/2013/mode... See page 16 for maps of predicted rise. You can compare that to an elevation map of the area, ie here with the contours turned on: https://maps.crd.bc.ca/Html5Viewer/?viewer=public https://maps.crd.bc.ca/Html5Viewer/?viewer=public. As you can see, in most areas the predicted rise of up to ~ 3 meters doesn't get you more than a few meters laterally away from the coastline. It will obviously still be a risk, but as long as you're not right at the beach it should be ok.
