An oceanic plateau, the Yakutat terrane, has entered the subduction system across southcentral Alaska. Its down‐dip fate and relationship to overlying volcanism is still debated. Broadband seismometers from the Wrangell Volcanism and Lithospheric Fate (WVLF) temporary experiment were deployed with 45 km, around 146°W. CCP stacking also reveals a continuous thin low‐velocity layer atop the underthrust Yakutat crust for >450 km along strike, at all depths <35 km. The uniform low‐velocity thrust zone indicates consistent properties through multiple rupture‐zone segments, showing that low‐velocity channels generally correspond with subduction megathrusts.
