Fremont bridge was the first earthquake-rated design put in. The Marquam has seen seismic upgrades, the Tilikum is brand new and should be fine, as is the new Sellwood Bridge replacement.
Every other bridge has been touched since the 80s/90s, but I don't have a lot of faith that, say, the Steel or Hawthorne will stay up.
