Yes, they do. I experienced a number of them in the years that I lived there. Here are some references about larger quakes that have happened there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1906_San_Francisco_earthquake http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Loma_Prieta_earthquake http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northridge_quake http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_San_Simeon_earthquake The last of these is a quake that I actually felt as I was living 117.34 miles away in Santa Barbara at the time.

They happen just about everyday! It's usually only the bigger ones that get felt, About 2.0 or greater depending upon your proximity to the epicenter.
