To put it bluntly, Seaside is a death trap. The earthquake will destroy the bridges over the rivers and you'll be trapped on the beach side. Even if the bridges were standing, you'll never get across them in a vehicle, so you'll have to walk or run. You'd have to be in really good shape and it would take you 15 minutes to get to high ground. Your best bet is the 8-story Wyndham Hotel. The 5-story Shiloh Inn will not be tall enough. Remember that the earthquake will have knocked out the electrical power grid, so you will be climbing stairs.

The north end of Cannon Beach (Ecola) has the same problem, as shown in the map above.
Your best bet is Haystack Rock and further south. Park your car facing east and you might have a chance of crossing Hwy 101 and getting to high ground. Otherwise, grab your emergency backpacks out of your car and start running or walking. You will have no more than 15 minutes from the first earthquake shaking.
